Yes I can see some bent pins on the bottem right.

I wouldnt buy it, just go for a proper mobo as the chances of this dying are pretty big

you can very carefully bend the pins back using a pin... I have seen people do this before. its very likely that this is what is causing the ram slots not to work. I would buy it and then sell it again if it doesnt work...

Yeah, for that price its worth it to see if it can be fixed. If not well its not an expensive lesson at least.

I see several slightly bent pins so I'd say that's likely the cause of the failures.
