Unsure about this mobo???

[Guest]

The mobo that I have has scratches around the cpu socket.... I can see that it is a little deep and was wondering if there was anything that I can do to repair it and make it last for a while longer????

This might be from you or someone trying to pry off the HSF with a screwdriver of sorts that slipped... this is not a big deal unless you hit some of the metal circuitry or broke some soldered metal off...

I'd leave it alone. Worst case - If the scratches are "cut too deep" then a circuit might be severed, and it would fail.

Thanks for the reply. The circuit is bare in one place. and I haven't used it yet, but it looks like I wont. So is there any place other then the Philippians that I can send it to get it repaired? Like in the US? That wont cost more then the cost of the board? And are they reputable?

The Manufacturer. Otherwise I cannot in good conscious recommend one over another.
