bentpins Are my motherboards pins bent?

[Awedsa]

Hi, well first of all im new to actually going into my computer, but i think i know how everything goes pretty much.

I know how to take out my graphics card, my ram, some fans, im having issues with taking out my filter and cleanjng it, but an air duster will work as far as i know.

But today i wanted to clean up my computer as my fans have gotten really dirty after my 1 month vacation and in the end it evolved into me cleaning up my whole pc, then i had the possibly foolish idea to take out my cpu, as in some weeks ill be buying a new one for my pc, and then things got a bit messy.

 

(For context, my motherboard has the pins, not my cpu.)

 

My first mistake was taking out my cpu when my pc was upright, maybe thats what killed it, from what i could tell my cpu is in good state, but i doubt the motherboard is.

 

Second, maybe i got too paranoid of my motherboards pins not being up to shape after i inspected it.

 

Im not sure if my motherboard is dead, ot doesnt help that i have eye issues and i cant really see up close.

I can provide more images if needed.

 

I just need to know if my motherboard is over, i just need confirmation.

I know that you can get the pins unbent, but im not sure if im going to be able to do that alone, and maybe itll be best for me to send it to a technician.

 

Also post assembly, it doesnt want to boot up, theres power i suppose but it doesnt want to turn on.

 

Motherboard: H410M-HDV

CPU: I3-10100 3.6 GhZ (the main reason iven wanting to upgrade)

 

Any help will be welcome.

Nope, they should be flat like that rather than sticking straight up.

I don't see a single pin which is not in order - if the system is not powering on, making sure everything (RAM, GPU, power connectors) is properly seated is a good first step.

Thats good to know that my cpu is arleast good..

And about the connections they should be alright i guess?

But i have a feeling that the problem is with my power supply, my monitor turns on but my pc refuses to have power, ill be opening it up and see if theres something wrong with the wiring, plus i think this really weird bolt may be a sign that it may be my psu? 

Its at a weird angle, so

But again thanks for telling me that my motherboard is alright!!

Glad to hear you fixed the issue.

 

Unless you have experience working with electronics DO NOT take apart your power supply. There are capacitors in there that will hold a charge, even when the unit is unplugged and can give you at the very least a nasty shock.
