Fixing bent pins on a CPUFixing bent pins on a CPU
While replacing a mainboard in a desktop machine (see related question), I did something stupid. I inserted the CPU into the new mainboard, but didn't check for the right position. When it didn't immediately lock in, I pressed slightly before realizing what was wrong. The result was a number of bent pins.
Definitely one of the more Super User-ish questions that I've seen :-)
