Anyone here with a good set of hands and a lot of patience?

initially i stood on it by accident, i tried straighening the bent pins but at least 5 came off lol, so i gave it the hammer treatment.

Go on give it a few more whacks... See if you can make the core come away from the PCB.. *evil* Mwah ha ha... *evil*

maddness · 7 Jun 2006 at 00:07

i alwas wondered what was under the core

...nothing to write home about

lay-z-boy · 7 Jun 2006 at 00:10

erm, may i ask how you managed to stand on it?

I think i would faint if i did that, dont have the money to replace it without rma.

What'd you straighten the pins with initially? I've had some success with a credit card and my trampled old Pentium still works to this day

maddness · 7 Jun 2006 at 00:17

some fine sharp tongues, which apparently were too fine lol

That's where you're going wrong you see :rolleyes:

. For future reference, I find a sledge hammer and a crow bar work the best :cool:

if the pins are anything like the CT-479 you didnt have much hope, i managed to bend one of mine slightly i tried to bend it back with a 'stanley' and it snapped.

i'll keep that in mind

the pins were pretty much on the way off, i felt some of them wobbling off in the process.

That will still work, just solder small lengths of wire to each pin then solder the other ends into the motherboard socket. Pay one of your friends a few quid to blow on the core while the pc is on like a human cpu cooler. Works fine here.
