Hi,
I got a P3 s370 (667 Mhz) from online and noticed that it arrived with one pin broken. I checked the datasheet for P3 and noted that it is D33 (C1 location). It refers to AGTL + I/O. In addition, many of the pins were already slightly bent and wouldn't fall into the socket without any pressure. I didn't use even the slightest pressure for fear of damaging the socket.
Given below is the image of the broken pin (bottom right). My question is would the processor be usable without the D33 pin in case I manage to straighten the pins? Also for straightening I tried using a blade but it seems to be inefficient. Any thoughts?
