The Motherboard is no longer usable ?!

[Ahmed-Adel]

When i was cleaning my CPU and accidentally bent some pins of the socket of the Motherboard.
I checked Google for a solution and it was to fix them with a needle but it was impossible for me.
I said in my mind if i give it to anyone to fix it the Motherboard won't be like it was before anyways.
So i completely damaged the socket myself and i removed some pins from their spot.
Then i asked here whether i could replace the socket or not and the answer was No.
They told me that i couldn't do anything and that the motherboard was useless.

Here is my thread:

I believed them and i was going to destroy the motherboard.
But i said i'd better try my luck and ask Gigabyte to replace the socket for me.
They took the damaged Motherboard and gave me a new one and i had to pay only about 20$.

The only reason i'm telling you this story is that i don't want you to tell anyone that his whatever component is no longer usable and that he has to buy a new one but to tell him to ask the company whether it can be fixed or not. Thanks for your understanding

Lot's of times various components on MB's can be replaced. It takes a highly skilled technician to solder on a MB.
