Pictures. (Take a really close look at the full resolution pictures so you can see how they are bent, best quality i can capture)
On the 3rd picture you can really see how they are bent.
I was removing my CPU and somehow my hand slipped and hit the socket, my hart stopped for a moment.
It looks dent in so I believe they are bent and I really need to fix them because I am selling the motherboard, I wish I was more careful...well you learn on mistakes.
So any ideas?

I cant believe it...I will slap myself now.

Ok i managed to straighten them up a bit with a magnifier and a knitting needle, but how to be sure they are fixed?
I'm not sure.

Here are the after pictures, same lower left corner.

Only way to know if it works is to put the processor back in, mount the heat sink and boot it up. if it works, you should be good.
