Introduction |
| This guide will cover how to fix a bent CPU socket pin of motherboard. This will require a steady hand in order to carefully move the pins, since they are very small and fragile. | | | The reason for this fix is because motherboards with a bent CPU socket pin have trouble detecting the CPU itself. This fix can also be enable dual-channel, because there were a lot of problems enabling dual-channel memory for their computers. | | | The only requirements that is needed for this guide a needle, or any needles that is tiny enough to fix the pins (in my guide, I will be using a math compass, since I don’t have access to a needle), a workplace without any hazards such as electricity, and a steady hand. | | | Why I wanted to do this guide is because I have the same issue with my current computer, because it was not detecting my CPU, and also not detecting dual-channel memory. Thus, there was no other guide on iFixit of fixing a bent pin from a motherboard. |
