Photos: Is this CPU Slot broken?

[teamittens]

Hi everyone, I bought a Dell T7500 barebones from an ebay seller in my city. Ive just received it this morning and have given it the once over. On inspection I think the CPU slot has damaged / flattened pins but Ive never seen a 1366 slot before so I cant be sure its not standard design. Photos here: http://www.all3d.ie/th43/

Could someone please confirm if it is broken for me so that I can move to get a refund. Many thanks.

Silly question, but could someone confirm my image link is working as it is my first post here (works from my end).

Thanks everyone.

Just to update this, ive powered it up without cpu, graphics card or ram and it does power on but I get a solid amber power button and green 1,2 and 4 Led error code lights.

after inserting ram and restarting I get the same error code.

Inserting a graphics card and hooking up to a monitor didnt give me anything onscreen and the same code.

I cant find reference to that specific combination of error lights online sofar.
This link ( http://itechjsc.com.vn/techsupport/dell/workstations/t7500/sm_en/diags.htm) does not feature that combination however the stuff ive read says that solid amber indicates the power is okay. The 1,2,4 light combination indicates a hardware population incompatibility with a critical system component such as CPU, VRM, PSU, or MEMORY RISER.

there are no error code beeps and the system just spins up the fan thereafter.

I dont know if the above sheds any light on the matter. The only problem I can see is still the flattened pins to the cpu slot. Any help much appreciated please.

Excellent, you need a new mobo

Yeah, figured Just to confirm: 1366 pins should presumably all be upright ?

Thanks for the reply.

Not presumably, SHOULD be all upright.
