On of my receptacles which is the last one in the series showes to have an open ground as detected by my plug in test set. When i test with my non contact voltage pen and move it near the neutral on the receptacle it beeps showing the presence of current. None of my other receptacles do that. The receptacle prior to this one test just fine. I removed the last bad receptacle and verfiied that the ground wire is secured on. Also the hot and neutral wires are inserted at the back of the receptacle instead of being screwed on. Before i go about replacing the receptacle is there anything else to try. thanks
