Issue with the CPU pin connection.
Issue with the CPU pin connection.
If the seller agrees to returns and refunds, capture a few pictures and submit a refund request. When they push back, you must clarify you have no valid reason to damage something essential—either you were unaware of this serious issue or it happened during shipping. Depending on the seller, that last point might be acceptable.
Sure, I'll try my best. It's just one pin, so fixing it might be tricky.
It isn't completely damaged, you could probably straighten it again. I tried bending it with a P4 earlier and it functioned well. (until I knocked it onto a hard surface, which was my mistake)
Previously I worked with AMD CPUs using a time-consuming method, but now I have hand tremors that prevent me from continuing. Fortunately, the pin is located on the outside, so using a small flathead screwdriver, a tiny dull knife, or even a toothpick can help reposition it. Focus and steady hands are essential. I recently told my boss I’d decline the job if it required fixing a bent pin due to my condition. I’m keen to take on this unusual task but worry about accuracy.
Reach out to someone with gentle, precise movements. This task requires care, yet they can accomplish it without cost. A jeweler would probably ask for payment.
