Bent/Cracked PCB - Intel Core i7-6800K SkyLake Processor

[jevargaskid]

Hello, just got my computer back from the shop for maintenance and after setting it up in my house. I wonder why my motherboard is lighting up but wont POST, so i tried to troubleshoot like removing the rams and checked everything until then when i removed the heatsink of the processor after opening the tray i tried to remove it  but its like hard to remove until then when i removed successfully the processor i noticed lately the pcb of the processor has a little crack bent on the corners, so i figured this was install incorrectly by the shop technitian. 

 

Can we still fix this? What to do?

That's really bad... Yea I don't think you can repair that. At least... not for less than what that processor costs... I'm surprised the shop didn't have the system running before you showed up.

RIP. Unless that crack didn't break any connections, then RIP

Most likely done for. you can try the CPU in another X99 system known to work, but I doubt it will work again.

That looks like a "sell your x99 board and buy something new" situation. Intel sockets need a good amount of pressure to make contact, so even if the traces are intact, any flex in the PCB will cause problems.

 

(pedant here, 6800k is Broadwell-E not Skylake because Intel's naming is drunk)

Funny story but i've done that before. Might as well give it a shot in known working party and see what happens.

Yeah, i was just too exited and in a hurry to setup my computer in my house, wished i could've let them test it before i claiming it and go home, but this shop here at our place is not really a licensed repair/retail computer shop, it's sort of to be called a "a friend and a computer geek guy's shop" rofl. So i just let him did all the work coz he loves computers and stuff and i frust him, but it's this his "apprentice tech repair service guy" did all work what i offered my friend a favor. Big bad luck pshhhh.

So you're suggesting that I'll try it with other compatible motherboards?

Probably just one. Your's looks slightly more fucked then mine. But the fan, in the right orientation, should push that corner down enough. It can make contact but still be toast...

Hey, im from the Philippines too. Do you live in Manila or near it? If you do, you might just get a used cpu from either Gilmore, or in our case, shopee, lazada or facebook market place.
