Bent CPU Socket Pins

[Chhotu uttam]

HI all,

I recently found out that my motherboard has some bent CPU socket pin on it. The CPU is not being detected, but the motherboard lights do turn on.

Is there any way to fix it and does any have experience in doing so? The motherboard is out of warranty and EoL, so there's no point in contacting the manufacturer.

you need a tweezer to straighten that pin out, but do it very gently

Only 3-4 pins I see, yeah certainly recoverable if done by extreme caution and patience.

Have fixed like these since the pinless era started from lga775 socket in 2k4!
You just need to have proper basic homely tools like appropriate sized screwdriver, needle, pins etc, and xxxl patience and bit of common sense and it gets fixed in matter of minutes or an hour depending on how much how many bent pins..
