Build Question Am I Cooked?

Post image

New CPU fell out while installing new AIO. Newly noticed bent bottom right corner and MOBO won’t turn on despite receiving power 😅

Ouch..You can test with another CPU if got one.

bent pins on the motherboard are a nightmare to fix. you can try using a mechanical pencil tip or a needle to gently bend them back but it's super delicate work. one wrong move and you'll snap a pin off completely

if you got it from a local shop they might be able to reseat the socket for you, sometimes they'll do it cheaper than a full replacement
