Is it possible to revive a dead cpu?

[_Chaotic_]

I have a dead intel i5 4670 and I wanted to know if their was some way to revive it, you guys have any ideas?

Unless you have a defibrillator, no.

What killed it? If it was bent pins, then you have a chance.

A friend gave it to me because it wouldn't post in his board, so I tried it in mine and it wouldn't post. I have fixed dead boards, power supplies, graphics cards, and even hard drives, but I've never fixed a cpu before, so I don't know where to start. Which is why I came on here to see if anyone has any idea.

We can't tell you unless you tell us more about the problem.

If only some of the cores are dead you could try disabling them and try and run it with less than 4 cores but if cache or key components are fried unless you have a clean room, an electron microscope, can get a hold of (and understand) the schematics for the i5 4670, have robot arms and are a wizard it's unlikely for anything else to be fixed or worked around

Basically, nothing starts when I press the power button, and this cpu was used in 2 completely different systems. Both systems worked with this pentium I recently bought, but not the i5.

Well that pretty much answered my question. Maybe one day, but not today.
