Hi guys,
Bought Asus P5B-E Plus board, built new PC - no POST.
Sent the board back to the supplyer, they discovered a damaged pin on the CPU Zif socket.
Here's the picture, look at the top row of pins.
In their opinion this was "caused by incorrect installation of the CPU".
Can anyone tell me how can one lift one pin up and over when CPU can only be sitted in one orientation and its pressed down?
Although I've been building PCs since '96, MCSE certified engineer, but I will accept a reasonable explanation if it is my fault.
Your honest opinion will be greatly appreciated.
