I received a corrected W2, but it is blank in boxes 1 and 2. Do I keep the values from the original W2 even though these values are incorrect?

A previous employer kept paying me after I had left the company. The errant paychecks have since been returned. However, my original W2 contained all of these paychecks in the total. I have since received a corrected W2, but boxes 1 and 2 on the corrected form are blank. Do I use the original values from the first W2?

I would not file using either one of the W-2s you received.  I would contact your former employer to get yet another corrected W-2, one that is actually correct.  If you can't get this resolved by April 18, then I recommend you file and extension and file when you have the correct W-2.  For information on filing an Automatic Extension of Time to File using TurboTax see the following FAQ: https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/3301811
