Small circular golden contacts of an AMD barton cpu

[Raptor00]

Hi everybody, I have a problem with my Athlon XP 2600+ (Barton) cpu.
When I checked it last time had some sticky substance.(Probably from thermal paste)After I cleaned it and put on some new thermal paste, never worked again.
I noticed that one of the small circular golden contacts (I don"t know how they are called) is discollored. 90% is the reason of the not fuction of the cpu.
How can I fix this? And what these circular contacts actually do?
I hope somebody help me on this.I have a picture of the cpu but I don"t know how to attach it.
Thank you.

Sorry for the low quality of the photo. Has been taken from a cellular.
The discolored contact is the one marked on the top.
Does anyone know what exactly do this part of the cpu?
And how is called?

Goodness. I thought that I was the only one around still using a Barton core CPU.

I'd take mine apart and look, but now I am afraid that what happened to you will happen to me.

You probaly ripped off by accident the transistors which were possitioned there, otherwise I 've got no clue due the quality of your picture.
Sorry.. but it seems your cpu is dead.

No ripped or burnt transistors. The transistors of any cpu are inside.This is something superficial.
I know that even cpus with broken pins have been fixed...so..this isn"t so bad..and 99% can be fixed.
I just don"t know the way. I will try to put a better photo.
It"s a matter of honnor for me to get this fixed..
Thanks for your message.
