Problem with P4M Processor

Have bought a intel CPU (SL6VB) 2.2 Ghz Mobil pentium 4 M with the purpose of breaking the pin and run it a FSB=200. I have a Asus P4GPL-X motherboard which have the ability to change Vcore from 1.1-1.7 V.

Firstly I tried just to connect the cpu before breaking the pin. The cpu was running fine, just only at 100 FSB. So I decided to break the pin but after reinstalling it I just cant get it to boot. Every time I shift to another CPU (Pentium M 1.6 Ghz + CT479 adapter) i make the boot perfect.

The 1 million dollar question is now if I have damaged the P4M CPU?

Is there anything that I need to know when breaking the pin and installing it afterwards?

I hope there is still hope for me...
 
When you said you 'broke' the pin, did you take wire clippers and chop them off? I always thought that the Pentium M pin mod always involved shorting two pins by placing a small wire in the socket and shorting out those two pins. This is a Pentium M right? Not a Pentium 4 M?
 
With "intel CPU (SL6VB) 2.2 Ghz Mobil pentium 4 M" as I wrote I mean a Pentium 4 M and NOT a Pentium M.

Wthe metode I used when I broke the pin was to bend it forward and backward until it broke. I didnt used a wire-clipper.
