Bent LGA 1150 pins

AnZaNaMa · Jul 2, 2015

I just got the asrock z97 pro4 motherboard and my Haswell i5 4670k processor and being the complete noob I am, bent some pins in the socket. I understand I'll probably have to buy another motherboard but I really want to try to fix this one first. I tried using a magnifying glass and a needle but no matter how close I looked I couldn't get a good view of the pins. I'm about 75% sure all the pins are there even though it looks like a couple are missing. I think they're just bent away from view. I just can't r wall Yb see what's going on well enough to fix them.

Sadly, RMA isn't an option as the damage has been caused by yourself instead of during manufacture. All is not lost though as damaged pins can be repaired. It's worth a shot as it could save you having to buy a new motherboard but it's not guaranteed to work but what have you got to lose?

Yeah I know my dad is an it guy and he's been building computers for clients for a long time but for some reason he has no experience with this, so he's no help. I just can't see where the pins are to bend them back

AnZaNaMa :

Have you tried a very bright light and looking at the board almost horizontally?

Upon extremely closer inspection, two of the pins are broken off. Testing to see if they are ground, then going to buy a new one.
