Old AMD Phenom II

So I bent 1 Pin on an AMD Phenom II.

Is there any way I can fix it? It's near the outside of the chip.

It's not a huge deal as it waS from an old PC that was kind of broken.

I was hoping to fix it up to use for folding or inhome streaming.

This is the CPU

Thanks!

 

UPDATE! PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING:

I fixed it! I can't get it to show the boot/post on the monitor though.

There are 2 red lights on the motherboard that flash. They are labeled LED_01 and LED_02 

 

UPDATE2

 

So I fixed the pin and got the mobo/PSU jury rigged on my desk. I turn it on, everything works. Except it doesn't out put anything to the monitor I have hooked up.

 

Help??

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

Heres what I'm working with:

go through with a credit card to make sure all pins are in line slowly

Did you read the whole thing? -_-

I'll do that anyways but now the GPU won't output images.

chip is stuck in socket

damn those things get hot!

still trying to get GPU to output images.

I think it might actually be the PSU. It doesn't have and PCIe power connectors so the guy that owned it previously had a adapter plugged into molex connectors. One of the wires fell out though.

 

THERMAL PASTE EVERYWHERE
