Well I managed to get hold of a load of system pulls, a mixed bag of Tualatins, S478's, 423's etc.

Some have missing pins and although some of them do work even with pins missing the are others that don't and I would like to attempt resoldering them on as they are on the outer edge so I have easy access from one side at least.

I was thinking on holding the new pin with a small pair of pincers with one point on top of some solder. Then I would touch the other end of the pin with the solder iron to heat it up and make the solder take.

Then I would repeat this method on the cpu.

Any chance this would work?

Thanks!

hehe.. first... that's crasy... second your crasy.. third... that might actually work.. cool..
um well make sure to apply flux so that excess solder can roll off. The pins might not stick with the solder though. It may be a good idea to superglue the pin back on very carefully, then use solder or silver compound to bridge over the break in the pin... That would probably work better... let me know how it turns out ;)


and how exactly do you get a hold of old P4's! I want some... well i would settle for one.. but a bag full! man...

if they work don't mess with them. as for the other ones, if there are any pins where you can't solder them in, you can use super glue. you have to hold the pin down with a bit of force and in the correct position (you can't bend supper glue). on the 423s try the soldering, but on the 478 insert the pin in the socket on the motherboard and make sure its just a tad bit longer than the other pins.

Why not use an electrically conductive conductive glue?

thats a bad idea when the pins are so close togather.

i think your best bet is to try and solder them back on. when the socket is close, a fair ammount of force is put on the pins. i dont envy you for having to do it though, that will be tough.
