Bent pins on LGA1700 socket motherboard

Hello every one,

 

I dropped my cpu in to the array and bent a pin. I am looking to confirm that it is a vss pin that is shorted to an near by vss pin. Included in a picture of the entire socket and a up close showing the specific pin bent in to it's neighbor. From my research of pin outs both the bent and neighboring pin are vss [ground].

 

Thanks,

Charles

I can't see the images on my phone, and I wouldn't know anyways what kind of function it serves, but if you've got patience, a steady hand, a magnifying glass, a bright light and something with a very pointy end, you can probably fix it. Just don't ask your teenage son to fix it for you. 🙄

I have fixed bent socket pins. Not exactly fun, especially with my eyes being crappier than ever.

I can't work on it and see it at the same time well enough for perfect work. I have it off of the neighbor now. I don't have it centered yet to hit the cpu pad at the correct spot and the pin is higher in elevation that than the array. if it isn't hitting a wrong pad but open, what is the likely impact? I can't get a good side shot to show the pin standing straight up.

 

MSI PRO Z790-A Wi-Fi, Pin AJ x 48 bent in to AJ x 49 both of which are VSS ground

The pin out map used came from  "https://www.gadget-manual.com/pinout-cpu/lga-1700/"

 

i hate to replace place the board but i am beginning to think it is the only way i can trust it for future proofing my own trouble shooting and sanity!

Bummer dude.

 

The only thing that comes close to what you are going through is straightening pins on an AM4 CPU. That also sucks.

Well, looks like the same basic problem I fixed, but I have a magnifier with a light. Go to the hardware or electronics store and buy something to hold the light or magnifier for you so you can gently work on it...Or kiss that mobo good bye.

Best case scenario, nothing happens, which isn't very likely. You could experience relatively minor problems, or short something out, or worse. Worst case scenario is a new mobo and CPU. You only have one pin to fix - I had multiple (no idea how it even happened on a new mobo unless the vendor sent me a refurb or open box) and it took a couple of hours. It works just fine now and my niece is very happy.

Not necessarily. I haven't had any problems with that, even with OEM keys. Microsoft earns more money from collecting and selling our data than from keys....by a long shot. Bill Gates is, IIRC, the number one owner of agricultural land in the USA.
