A socket should not make blue flashes. You may see one little blue flash when you first plug or unplug a device but anything more than that is not acceptable. The blue flash is called an electric arc. It is electricity jumping through the air. This spark is hot and is the reason for many house fires.

As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.

Before you do any work yourself,

on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,

always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

How do you upload work on to a memory stick?

By memory stick I'm assuming that you mean a flash drive. But anyway, if you have a Mac computer, (includes MacBook Pro, MacBook, etc.) you insert the flash drive into the computer's socket (NOT THE ELECTRICAL SOCKET!). Then, after a few seconds, the flash drive will appear on your desktop. Then, if you want to save a document, picture, or whatever it is you want to upload, you save it to your desktop, and then drag it into the flash drive icon that's on your screen.
