missing motherboard pins

[RadiatingLight]

I fucked up...

I snapped off two pins from my ASUS Z87-Plus motherboard.

is there any chance that the motherboard will ever work again?

 

red pin = missing

LGA 1150 socket

There might be something a professional could do.

depends on how bad the pins are. You could fix them.

Send your motherboard in for repair. It is rather inexpensive to have them replace this. RMA but call and be specific about what you want replaced. If you are nice about it I have had some vendors just make me pay shipping as long as the board isn't dead.

if the pin is snapped off, then it's pretty much guaranteed to be dead. sometimes it is just an extra power delivery pin that is expendable though.

middle part?

Have you tried booting it up anyways? Sometimes it could be a reserve or a ground pin that you've snapped.

those are just 3 smaller units. (capacitors i think)

If all else fails, sell it on ebay for $30 or so. Somebody  who can replace the CPU socket would buy it.

I bought the board secondhand, so there is no warranty (i doubt there would be warranty anyway after 1 year)

[downshiftxlr8]

They will still fix it for a fee. Hell i want to say I was 2 years out of warranty on the board that I sent in for work.

Where could I do this?

a quick google search yields no results.

Well your only choice now is to send it back to ASUS for repair or find a local shop that might be able to do socket replacements.
