I reasently bought a Amd simpron 2400+ put i have already fried it by
puting its heatsink on backwards. I need to know if there is a way
to fix my cpu, and if so how to do it.

Btw my worranty with amd has run out

Yup, but unfortunately it'll cost you $63 + shipping.

Step 1. Take your current processor and toss it in the garbage

Step 2. Buy a new processor such as the following:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819104226

Step 3. Take extra care to make sure you put the heatsink on the right
way this time! :>

Even if you still had a warranty it is likely that this would not be
covered.

Sorry. Get a new cpu. At least you didn't burn an FX-57.

You'll have to buy a new one, and install it correctly!!!

You would still be covered if you just played dumb and said, "my cpu
no worky".

Good find, always wondered why these videos didn't exist before.

Puhleeease... The poor guy doesn't have to _play_ dumb, because
that's what he really is (evident from both his spelling and his
action). Don't incite him to become a fraudster on top of that.

The Socket-A videos have been on AMD's reseller page for a few years, I
used to post that link on a daily basis for newbies who already blew up
one chip or a newb that was smart enough to ask Qs first! ;p

btw the broken s754 link was a copy of CH.4 from this Guide
http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/white_papers_and_tech_docs/30925.pdf

Cheers,
Ed
