Broken Socket Arm on SK41G

[Shagg]

I've purchased several Shutte SK41G xpc's to sell around town. I've been building them with a Duron 1.3 ghz processor with FSB of 200mhz. On 2 of these machines, the plastic arm on the socket has weakend to the point where the CPU doesnt lock in correctly. This cause these machines not to boot up. On 1 of these machines, I got so enraged :| that I broke off the whole arm and socket cover off. Does anyone know If I can get this fixed and maybe possibly install a new sturdier socket mechanism? any help will be greatly appreciated. thanks

Unless you are damn good with soldering iron, probably not. Contact shuttle and tell em how sh!tty the arms are and request a replacement, if they give you flak about it, just tell em that you will make sure everyone else knows about the poor quality of their product
