U should have soldered the staple to the cpu, now that would have been funny.

He did a nice job, sure looks straighter than some of the other pins on that cpu😛

It's probably the angle but the pins are a lot straighter then when I first fubar'd my cpu (didn't lock it down before putting on hsf...doh). Cpu slides into slot perfectly now.

Alright, I fixed it. I took a staple and stuck it into the pin hole for the missing pin. Then estimated the length and cut it with a nail clipper. I put the CPU back on and installed the heatsink and I'm up and running perfectly. Scare of my life. Probably going to have it repaired for safe measure. Also, yeah I know a computer can't run without a CPU. But I was freaking out and saw the error LEDs on my mobo and it stayed at FF. It normally says that when everything it running alright. It also didn't beep or anything and I was afraid my cpu took out my mobo was well.

Do NOT use it long term.

The CPU pins are gold, a staple is not 😉

Get it repaired at a jeweler.

No way.. if it is working now, dont ever remove it!

Dang Macgyver couldn't have done a better job.

I've been following your posts. I have 2 FX55's with three missing pins. Can you PM me Gary Headlee's phone number so I can get a price?

I did this with a straight pins back in the Turion days. I got a little carried away trying to do the pin-mod, and broke a needed one off. I cut down the straight pin with the head sticking out, and it worked perfectly until I upgrade to an AthlonXP.

LOL ,Wow this is the most interesting thing I've read today.

Is anyone up for an experiment? Someone want to break all pins off a CPU and use staples in place?LOL.

I would try it but don't have any extra CPU's.

Toogood

It would be even better if they made gold stapes. 😉

I never did get my CPU back from him. He returned with no attempt to repair it and I contacted him and he said send it back he would tkae care of it. That was about 2 months ago. I guess I need to take a more active approach as emailing is obviously not working.

He never responds to e-mails. I had to call him and even then, he lagged a little. But in the end, after asserting myself he did the job.

You guys are more than welcome to contact me. I would be willing to fix your busted off CPU pins for the simple price of shipping both ways.

Just for the record, I have experience in the Rework and Repair of PCA's for Plexus Corp. in excess of 8 years. I can replace/reball BGA's, remove and replace QFP's and simple IC's, pad and trace repair, etc, etc. I was involved in the training department for some time but have now taken over the role of Engineering Support for the time being. With that said, I still have access to all the equipment necessary for the repairs.

Just lemme know if interested via my e-mail in my profile. Please keep in mind though if too many requests come through I will be forced to charge a nominal fee.

Regards,
Kris

Just thought I would throw the suggestion out there for anyone who might come across this unlucky fortune in the near future. 🙂
