I got hold of a motherboard with 2 broken pins on the LGA socket. What do you lot reckon to my chances of fixing this by supergluing on some telephone wire or two snapped off pins from a 386cpu prehaps.
Should I even try or is it too risky to the processor I might test with it. IAm not sure how much pressure these socket pins are put under, obviously a superglue bodge job isnt going to handle much strain.
I heard somewhere you can only ever install 20 cpus into these motherboards because the wear and tear is so bad on them, the socket does seem to exert a lot of pressure when pushing down the trigger but I dont know if that is transmitted to the pins or its holding the cpu die in place firmly as a whole.
Any soldering mad scientists out there know about this stuff?
The board isnt even a year old but I presume any attempt at rma or repair request would fail
