Fixing bent CPU pins on a
Ғылым және технология
Fixing bent CPU pins on your computer motherboard isn’t an easy task even when you’re the greatest technician that’s ever lived. In fact, it’s nearly impossible. But I’m going to try to fix this custom RGB gaming PC the best I can. This type of CPU socket technology is very easy to damage. Make sure to be careful with your tech or else it will eventually end up in my computer repair shop

I love it how the motherboard got so scared that it changed its identity to a completely different board. It thought its adaptability would be its savior.

It depends on the severity honestly. On a socket 2011 X99 board I had, bending 9 to 10 pins back perfectly (especially with shaky hands) took some patience. Hundreds of pins? I can’t even imagine.
@keegie_creeper146
Ай бұрын
@@precisionxt yea, it took days an a lot of patience for that board, I don't really have too shaky of hands since I don't drink coffee and I avoid bending pins after eating/drinking anything with caffeine or sugar. It paid off in the end because that x670e extreme that I mentioned released at $1k, you find them used for cheapest $550 now. I got mine with bent pins at $180 with all of its accessories. It helped that I had a fancy curved furniture sewing needle that is mostly wide so the grip and angle of the pin was never an issue. The difficulty of using a normal sewing pin is the main cause of the difficulty in unbending bent pins.

So glad to see you guys carefully, painstakingly fixed every last pin to be perfectly aligned.
Ignoring the fact the motherboard morphed into another model mid-vid; you can totally repair such damage with those raccoon-like fingers given enough time and practice on truly useless other models. The exception being the bending/sheering breaking off pins or their pads, then it's 🦴'd unless you resolder another socket or nano-solder an individual pin. On PGA the pins or usually vertical, so you can just put copper wire into the socket and have decent success.
Eh. I think it was too far gone.

@@croser81 Yes. exactly. has a direction. Here and in third world countries, what happens is that the process is often expensive, and may not work, an agreement is made between the customer and the repair technician to carry out the procedure, even if it doesn't work. In second and first world countries, the process is more accessible, but due to laziness, convenience or fear, it is much more practical for the repair technician to sell a new motherboard. It turns out that, even in outsourced countries or not, these damaged or lost motherboards are repaired and resold as if they were new. I'll be honest, I think the guy in the video didn't want to repair it because maybe for him, the repair wouldn't be relevant, so, to make fun of it, he decided to finish damaging the motherboard and discard it (but a company will pick it up, fix it, and resell it as new).

I've got a PC problem too: I own a 2000s custom PC, with powerful parts inside(not really for gaming). No matter what I do, even when I search on google, my PC crashes.

This is actually how geek squad does their work. Not the technicians but the suits you meet at the store.
When I was at intel, I had a habit of fixing pins like this. They had a microscope in the lab, I would get the tiny tweezers and gently been back to where it was supposed to be. Which is not easy, let me tell you. We were really not supposed to do that. But sometimes you had to.
