Hi have a bit of an issue trying to identify if a broken pin on this CPU is a required pin a spare voltage pin or not connected, I have the pin maps but with limited experience in deciphering these pin out maps I'm hoping someone here more knowledgeable can lend a hand. Its either a VLDT pin or a Memory channel pin ...assuming Im at least on the right path with reading this map.

I haven't thrown this CPU in a board yet as I dont want to cause it any further damage as these 3700s are rather hard to get hold of, If its a required pin then Im going to go microscope hunting so I can try repairing it .. or I will do a socket mod with a bit of stiff wire.

Apologies about the pics, did my best with the limited macro camera I have.

~~Pin AH1 (NC_AH1), doesn't look like it is connected to anything.~~

See below.

Thanks for that!

Had a good look at that PDf and it helped a bunch, I reorientated the images I posted so that it reads the way the PDF has it and it looks like its possibly the MEMDQS(2) pin, the images I posted here are pretty terrible and Im pretty sure I need to get a better camera.

Ill do a quick post test on it to see if its alive and then likely do a quick pin mod, MEMDQS(2) looks important for DDR.

I thought it was a no connect pin.
That's why I posted the pdf. 😀

I was going to go with your initial answer, but thought I should triple check things anyway.

~~funny, considering it mentions top view under the pinout in the pdf, I would think it's VLDT0_A (B 29)~~
scrap that

AJ2 MEMDQS(2) seems more correct.
