Last week, I was getting my motherboard cleaned in order to sell it in my local second hand marketplace in my country. Of course everything was really dusty, the CPU socket seemed like it had the most dust on it. So while I was cleaning it with a microfiber cloth, I think I accidentally slightly misaligned a few pins.
They look like they would still touch the contacts of the CPU, but I don't know and don't want to risk it at all.
What's my best way to unbend these pins? I can get a magnifying glass as I've heard those things help out a lot in identifying which ones are bent. Please help!
