I have a retro Highscreen motherboard. In one of the ISA-slots a contact has gone down, I have no idea how this could happen. See the picture. Does anybody know how to get the contact in the right posisition, which tool could be used for that?
First check a pinout diagram.
Several times.
It might just be a earth, or something you can live without.
But, id assume it's bent, and pointy nose pliers will either fix or break it entirely.

Unfortunately that pin is either +5v or address line 22 depending on which way the photo was taken. Given the orientation of the silkscreen markings, I’m going +5v.
Can usually live without one +5
Addr22 on the other hand

Its probably jammed on the plastic, find a needle or pin and slide down behind the contact and gently push it out but at the same time try to hook it upwards.
It is indeed the +5 V pin. I tried to push the pin in the right position with a needle. A needle that fits into the slot is not strong enough to get the pin upright again. I am afraid I have to live with it. Thank you all.
