    @WrexBF 7 місяців тому +3

    I looked up that pin on the Kably Lake pin diagram and it's a ground pin. So, the PC should still work without that pin. It's possible that that ground pin was touching an adjacent VCCIO pin. That would explain why the PC was refusing to boot.

  • @azazzelx

    kinda reminded me on how I revived a 7th gen intel mobo by asrock which was given to me since it doesnt work before. I just saw that it has some few bent pins that are not easily seen including a broken pin and proceeded to put them back with a tweezer. It eventually worked thereafter. right now it is being used for my sibling's pc which I modded to run an 8th gen intel cpu. good work, man.

    I love when the weirdest problems occur and happened to have the simplest solutions. I remember the first time that I attempted to do a maintenance cleaning to my own pc and wouldn't boot after, I couldn't afford a thechnician at the moment and didn't had any other components to troubleshoot and in the end the problem was that I forgot to reconect the CPU power cable. Its been a long way since then. Anyways.. thanks a lot for the effort that you put in every single one of the videos just to entertain some of us and help others. Saludos desde 🇲🇽 love ya Greg

    Great eagle eye for that piece of hair or something on the socket there Greg. I used to work at a refurbishing pc company as a hardware technician and this was very common issue, when someone wanted to change the cpu or just to simly clean the leaked out paste by himself. This often occurs when you try to wipe the paste of the motherboard with dry cotton (have seen it) and a piece of cotton gets cought on the pins of the socket, might bend/break pin or just make a mess, like in your case. If you can't see that string you would wonder why it doesn't post but apparently it messes with the contacts. Great "cheap" fix. Keep doing what you do! You are great !
