Board damaged during assembly.
Board damaged during assembly.
Hey there, I'm here for you. It sounds like you're facing some issues with your PC setup. You mentioned not receiving a post from your motherboard and are concerned about possible CPU socket damage after accidentally damaging the CPU. It's good that you're thinking about solutions—make sure to check your motherboard manual for signs of damage and consider reaching out to a technician if needed. Let me know if you want more guidance!
It seems the CPU socket has several bent pins, indicating some are damaged beyond repair. Fixing it might be straightforward. You might need to get a new motherboard... I have no idea why you altered the CPU, socket, or motherboard if the hard drive failed.
It seems you've damaged the pins on that socket significantly. It's unclear exactly how you achieved this. A few pins appear bent, while others seem completely absent.
She's gone, Jim. Check if anyone nearby offers CPU socket replacement services. It's a bit niche, and not everyone has the necessary equipment.
And if they do, does the repair cost make sense: If fixing it is about half the price of a new board, it’s probably wiser to replace the board entirely.
