I am a newbie to computer building and changing parts but did see a lot of tutorials. I saw in those videos that when you get a new mobo many times they have a plastic cover on the cpu socket. When I got my new m5a99x mobo before putting in the fx 8350 cpu, I broke what was actually an important part of the socket that ur supposed to place the cpu on , I thought it was just a plastic cover. The plastic part of the socket broke and the metal hinge came off. Idk what to do now considering that it was not a defect and thus I can't get warranty for it. Is there any place I can buy that part or have someone repair it? It would suck that I would have to buy a whole new motherboard just because I broke that plastic part.
