Motherboard repair

[cecpam]

I have an AM3 motherboard with a broken cpu lockdown retainer. Is this hard to replace and where can I get one?

wow, so weird, I see ads for people asking for this on craigslist all the time. I would check with the mobo manufacturer to see if they have replacements.

I contacted Gigabyte, but no answer after 2 days. The ZIF socket is labeled Foxcon, but their website was no help.

HAS ANYONE EVER REPLACED A ZIF CPU SOCKET BEFORE?
