Scratched cpu socket

Check your warranty first. Then open a ticket on the GB support page, link below. Explain the situation and see what they say. If they say you will be charged, then decide if it is worth pursuing. What have you to loose.

If its out of warranty just make sure you at least have a go at bending the pins back before purchasing a new board. What have you got to loose?
