What’s best tool to try fix cpu pins?

[ExoMale]

so nothing out the ordinary for me to having to repair cpu pins, but my methods are not seeming to work.

Basically I took my 2600 out my itx board, but it came out attached to the cooler it was that sealed and eventually using my hand to pull it off I accidentally pressed some pins from the side and trying to correct them I seem to be moving others, so at the moment the cpu isn’t Sitting in the socket properly because of 1 section, it’s like having a wonky chair lol, I’ve annoyingly had to fit my new 1200 in to my new board while I try fix my 2600 as I need my system to be back to running status.


Buying a new 2600 or even finding one used is out the question, so I’m hoping to fix this one like I fix any other processor.

Thanks for replies.

Didn’t realise so many options ha, I will given them a try and see how I get on, will admit I would never of thought about a toothbrush, but I suppose all these solutions are safe if they have been tried & tested.

I managed to sort it, I hadn’t tested it till now, but I got a tiny flat head attachment from a mini screw driver and eventually sorted it, I did have to press down hearing a sorta pop in to place, but I’m using the cooler from the 1200 box as I didn’t think about it, I know they the same, but I don’t know what paste is on the cooler, anyways it’s all working fine which is a massive relief and this is in my new aorus M board, I didn’t actually setup the 1200 in the end.

I managed to find a useful MagnifyGlass app on my phone to help.
