Chances are that it will work but I can't say how stable it will be but you can always do the wire mod. The pins are just iron with HGE 14k plate so a piece of cooper wire in the socket to bridge the loss of the pin.

Thank you for your answer. Is there a "best" method to bending back those pins? I really do not want to mess up the other cpu....

Famous russian magazine, "Igromania", recommends not to bend back pins that are already 90 degrees bent, but to carefully solder a wire to them. Never tried myself, but the help this magazine gave me when I was new to PCs and stuff was great.

Russians do know best 😉 Your army spent around 50 years in my country so you must be right 😁 Thanks for the tip! 😀

If I start learning soldering now, I wonder if I will be able to fix something this delicate in 30 years time 😁

Wow 😀 Our country did intrude in a lot of places for whatever reasons, I hope, they didn't do you or your friends/relatives any bad.

btw, here's a photo of a vehicle my 70-year old neighbor made from scrap 20 years ago. It still works and requires only minor service, as he's a very careful driver: http://cs4560.userapi.com/u62890264/100866144/x_6f7ddea6.jpg

sorry for offtopic 😀

Absolutely not, and even if they had, it would not be your or any Russians fault. I didn't mean to get political, sorry it was just a joke. Hope I did not offend you 😀

Great picture, gotta love those old cars. In Hungary there are still quite a few Russian "gems" running around 😁

Anything else about fixing a broken pin guys? Come on...I'm desperate here 😀

I looked for this problem on russian forums. Guys there either use soldering, which is quite hard considering the size of the stuff, or use method similar to what nforce4max adviced:

Use pliers (I'm not sure what the translation is, pic here: http://www.incomservice.com.ua/images/ombra/o … a%20image52.jpg) to break a needle over some solid platform. Than take a part of it and insert it into the socket. It is bigger than an average pin and more stiff than an average wire. Should work after you instert the CPU 😀

Thank you for your trouble. Will try that method. I too think those are pliers 😁

We call them "flat lips". Whatever 😀

We call them "combined grippers / combined tongs" (kombinált fogó) Combined, because you can do a lot of stuff with it 😀 We can almost call this "Know your European cultural heritage" thread. 😁

That's why we love it soo much 😁

Culture references are off the topic, but it's fun, whatever 😀
