I fixed them I think as good as I can using high magnification and it looks like they would all make contact with their respective pads......but it wont post. I get D4 on the LED readout.

I guess I'm keeping the board now. I wonder what it would cost to get the socket replaced?

(the glass on the inside of my scanner needs cleaning I think.)



The bent pins were in the top left corner.

I can't see any bent pins?
Looks like a pretty darn good job you've done, no idea why it's still falling over :/
RMA it?

now I get code FF on th LED readout. Pins look perfect.

Back to code D4

FF means attempting to boot to OS. There's nothing wrong with the hardware.

There were some bent pins in the socket. After about 10 repair attempts I finally got it good enough.

She's running now!!

Man that was some seriously delicate surgery to repair/rebend some of those pins.

Don't feel bad...I pulled a pin clean out of my 1090T removing a pot some time ago. No chance of rma for that lol.

i did one time where the pin broke off the 478 chip and what i did just just put the pin where it should of been and just lay the cpu on there then just let it all falls in at the same time and it worked like that lol

ny you ran it with 938 pin prob cuz that one pin didn't realyl do much in the chip it self

[ny_driver]

Wow it's only $35 to get the socket replaced, plus shipping I'm sure......but still that's way cheap.

[MaadDaawg]

cheaper than what EVGA charges
