This is the scariest video I have ever seen.
Do it in the dark with poor lighting because you have to catch a flight in 6 hours. Expert mode.
Fixing AMD CPUs pin is much better than fixing LGA sockets

Can you replace cpu socket
@@bitlegion9903 No, the socket is replaceable by special equipments
@@vy9004 thats correct, those sockets are bga like gráfic cards or other chips
For anyone still interested the pin that broke off was a VCCGT pin. These pins deliver power to the integrated graphics. There are upwards of 15 of these pins so chances are the board would still work.
Good to know..thanks for sharing hehe
I don't have any reason to not believe you, but can you tell me how you knew from the video please.
@ATechnews last I had to identify CPU pins, I opened Intel datasheet for particular CPU and ball grid map was all there.
@@rectify2003 any idea on how to find that? Im having trouble myself and would like to find said data sheet if possible
Make sure you need a eGPU! Otherwise f*** you, Intel HD Graphics.
Fibers on the tweezers triggers my OCD
Same, why not just lift it out rather than poke more pins around with it hanging on.
exactly why i stopped watching and came down here... like YOU SEE THAT RIGHT? if you can't see it, why are you doing this... if you can see it... WHY are you just continuing to tangle it around more and more pins... i'm not the one with a problem... ocd or whatever, anyone NOT bothered by this is just half ass. if a thing's worth doing, it's worth doing right... and then overdoing.
oh my god... there's MORE!!! everywhere he messes with, seemingly... is he doin it on purpose? that's the only excuse, to mess with the person... but then, maybe a bit unprofessional, but kinda funny. unless it turned out to be conductive... then, just shitty for a paid job.
This is the ultimate nightmare repair. Nice work and incredible patience.
When you started straightening them, I held my breath lol... sign of a great video! Thank you for sharing.
same xD
I have been building my own pcs and those for friends and family for almost 20 years. Last time the chip types were changed I jacked up 3 motherboards by not putting the CPUs in correctly :( so fragile! I tried to straighten the bent pins on one MB but it was never good enough. Mad respect for your work sir!
How do you even screw up the pins? Seriously there are indicators the CPU will only fit one way.
The patience you have for that is amazing 🤩
Incredible steady hands Brother. If I lived in your area you definitely would get our families business. Great job 👍🙂
Where is that
You must be a neurologist, why you are here sir.
Anyway huge respect to this electronical nero surgeon.
I took at a lot of your videos. You got a big experience and knowledge. Your skill level is very, very good. Hat down for the patience on this job. I would not bother myself to straighten the pins. I did not count them in the video, but i would do a socket replacement right away. It is dependent how lucky you are. If you have broken signal pins, then it makes no sense to straighten the rest of them. I would go max for 3 bent pins, more than that, only a socket replacement.
Thanks for posting this dude, watching you do this gave me the confidence to try the same (and successfully fix) my new Z490i Unify's fully u-shaped pin!
This is a video done by a real professional who knows what he is doing. Hard to find on UA-cam these days.
Steady hands of a surgeon, pretty amazing.
Nice work mate!
Same condition happened with my motherboard pins and I had relocated them to correct position after watching this video.
Everything works fine now.
Thank you for this video.🙂
Also with me
I admire the patience!
Thanks, this helped me to understand how the pins are supposed to look and behave.
Good vid showcasing the labor intensive pin repair service. There is a aftermarket replacement socket available for like only $5-8 USD for the intel sockets but I think you need a BGA machine for it and I think the machine is expensive if I remember correctly. I think the Ryzen sockets are about the same price but AMD socket was easy to repair. I had checked not too long ago after I bought a motherboard that apparently had a broken socket for AM4, ended up RMA'ing it though, luckily.
It's not worth the time or labor to change the socket. This is a special case where the pins are badly damaged and unbending the pins took some patience due to how fragile they are.
SILVER LINING: Customer has learned a invaluable lesson... 1st hand. S/he will never make that mistake again. And will use this experience to help others in the future.. :) Thank you.
I've bent a few pins (around 3 or more) when cutting a LGA 775 socket to fit a 771 Xeon CPU. Managed to straighten them with the same scalpel blade with my naked eye, no magnifiers and such. The CPU worked for whole 6 years no problem until I've upgraded :)
you can cut pins to make a non compatible cpu work with a mb by cutting off pins?
@@itchytastyurr no, you need to cut out the socket holder so you can insert the CPU rotated by 90 degrees, together with gluing a tiny pad that switches two pins around. That's in case of 771 cpu in 775 socket. Then you need to update the bios (in my case add the microcodes) so the cpu works 100% correct
Damn, im holding my breath watching this video like a bomb is being disarmed infront of me...
Maybe you must have to heat the pins to the medium temprature so its little bit easy to fix and decrease the chances of braking pins
4:34 - right then and there was when I stopped and cursed out loud! Did the same thing to my z390 aorus.
I have an Asus TUF Z390 GAMING PRO with the same bent pints. Watching as I'm working on it. I don't have microscope do have to rely magnifiers (one manual and the other is a magnifier app for iPhone lol. With image stabilizer and front flashes on it does a very decent job but not as clear a vision as you guys. I use tiny needlenose pliers, a mechanical pencil with lead removed and some sewing needles for leverage. So far so good, thanks! 👍
Congratulations Sir.. Very nice work. Bravo. 👍👍👍
I love the honesty and patience in this video and I learnt a lot. Thanks
Awesome precision. Only wished he could have installed the CPU to see if all the straightened pins worked?
🇩🇿انت فنان كل. فيديو تتعلم منك .اكمل عملك وخلي الدعم علينا
you saved my pc
good job
My worst nightmarish bent pin repair was when I had to solder a new upper 3 quarters of a pin on a remaining quarter of the broken pin. Cut a new pin to fit the missing part, used a little bit of solder paste and a hot air station. I wish I had a stereo microscope to be able to work such fine interventions.
Those are metal? What c did you use to solder them together
this video is so relaxing
maşaallah nice video thenkyou.!
On the ajustment the most important is match the vertical and horizontal lines, The exact shape is almost impossible make again. For test pc parts u need one ram and a cpu listed on QVL in oficial site support.
Nice job again like always
Hello great content. So the pins are not usually straight right because I have the same motherboard and I see that the pins are not straight and I was wondering
I made the exact same mistake trying to clean paste with a paper towel. Fixed it the same way using my hundred dollar Amazon special microscope :-) lesson learned. I was glad to hear that there are redundant pins.
Great effort Sir 👍
Socket 1151 Rev. 2 is basically a new socket that just happens to have the same physical layout.
Saludos que tipo de microscopio usas una de lente de 900x excelente video ojala puedas ayudarme estoy por comprarme uno ...
Merci pour ce vidéo c'est très important et excellent travaille
I really like such videos. I am your new subscriber !
I like he goes to answer the phone... Boss move mate
so after this fix , can you tell us if this motherboard work with costumer cpu or not ? thanks for video
Can I literally put them in place like any where
I mean in symmetry but a bit differently?
See what happens when we put a 7700k on a z390 board... I'm like NOOOOOOOOO STAHP
It could work with a modded bios though. The 1151v2 is *almost the same to the 1151v1. There are some cross-compatibility with 4 cores chip. I3 8100 could be used in modded 1151v1, nothing should stop the i7 7700k to work on z390 other than bios microcode.
Excellent job !!!
I live in the area and have roughly the same problem just not as severe only a few bent. asrock fatal1ty z97 killer lga 1150 socket. I’m curious how much you charge for your service sir.
Nice work.....❤
do we need to charge the customer if in case it doesnt work? thanks. great hands . what is your microscope model?
Keep them warm before bending back. So chances of breaking will much less.
actually not true, hot parts are easier to break
@@SloGhost its metal metal tends to bend as atoms become free cos of energy. With cold bending it forms stress on atoms and they gets break without bending.
He’s right hot / warm metal is more malleable / flexible when heated to the right temp.
It's called annealing. The question is whether you can heat the metal to the correct temperature without melting the plastic of the socket or setting something on fire.
Many components intended for reflow soldering can withstand 200-300 degrees for a minute or two for the reflow process itself, but annealing could require hundreds more.
@@TomStorey96 there's one more thing, if pins are heated to high temperature then solder could melt and pin picked out of the socket accidentally. OR the pin can be unsoldered, bent to the right shape and soldered back.
I use needles to fix this sort of issue and it is very effective because with needle you apply less pressure and you have more control on bending them without breaking the pins.
Hi, what's model of microscope do you use? Link to eBay doesn't work. Thank you
Finaly a👍 Good Video Perfect View ho show exactly the Pins and they how they oriented Nice
would it help to heat it up a little so it bend easier with less chance of breaking
Connecting that PSU almost shuts down your camera mate, check it if you don't believe me. :)
I have a socket 1366 board with one of the pin top hook bent backward on itself (similar to 6:11), it still work but only 8gb of ram is usable out of 12gb, should i bent the pin hook forward with tweezer or will it break off?
4 years later, is it still working? :D
I am wondering if it would been easier to just change the whole socket itself? There are some soldering frames one can use to solder those small connections. I saw one guy have a frame, he fixed a new socket through the board and just poured the soldering tin into the holes of the frame and it was basically done. Can't remember hos channel now though..
Frikin surgeon :D love you man
are these pins straight up or suppose to be on an angle but just lifted up to touch on an angle?
You can also replace the entire bga socket. Did this resolves the customer's issue?
Had to correct a single bent pin on one of these CPU sockets once, had no fancy equipment, so had to zoom in using my phones camera and use a scalpel to correct it. Was very fiddly, but I managed it thankfully.
can you put a blow dryer before working on the really hard pins?
Oh, man... I had z97x gaming 7 that tried to take out the fallen dust with a brush and bend 20+ pins like that... I was about to cry... Than I got $15 digital microscope, connected to the TV and bend them back. First it didn't work properly, than after further check they need to be completely in the right angel. That sht took long but I managed it and used that board without any issues over a 6 month and changed my system. 😎
So, what did the customer say @NorthridgeFix ? Did it work? Does it actually start when there is a CPU inserted without a cooling fan connected?
Great Video! I have a dell xps studio 9100 and I notice the pins on the socket of my motherboard is bent. Because my RAM is 24g, but now is 8g. I think my fingers caught in the socket and damage the pins and I don't know what to do now. Maybe I have to replace it or repair it. But I can't repair it because I don't have a magnifer to see the pins close. The motherboard cost $189.00
what tool did you use?
That board was $369 in Nov 2019 and a similar thing happened with me with the socket not holding the CPU in place while cleaning & reapplying 30 month old thermal compound off the fan & CPU lid
C'mon, everyone knows your supposed to clean that paste off with a hammer and chisel
Would heating the socket help bend the pins with less likelihood of breaking?
There's some kind of little hairball at 13:44 rolling around near the tweezers, and I was hoping so hard he was going to pick it up and remove it, but then he does not. :(
I have the same board but some pins were even broken off. I managed to fix it in the worst way possible. Salvaged some pins from another board, cut off the bottom part, slide it against the broken pin and secure it in place with a cut off piece of a leg from a resistor. It is working great now though.
How did you even manage it ! Mine is not booting even after straightening them.
@@prashanthb6521 The trick is to look at the heads, not the legs. You need different orientations and light source directions to arrange the heads in the grid correctly again.
@@mrawesomelemons yes. One direction pins look fine, from another pins look bent. Also the tips of the pins look like spoons
I was holding my breath the whole time he was repairing the pins hahah
Test passed ! you can work in a bomb squad. Incredibly exciting.
I used to buy pallets of best buy returns, plenty of motherboards with messed up pins I fixed. I was always surprised at how often things worked with missing pins. Always wondered if there was some functionality that was missing due to it, ie some pcie channel or wouldn't work but I never noticed anything. I used to shove the pins inside a 0.3mm mechanical pencell tip to manipulate them. Kinda wonder if you could micro anneal the metal to make it less brittle but never actually tried it.
If you look at the pin out diagram of most cpu about 2/3 of pins are power and ground. So if you are lucky one of them will be PG pin and you can get away with it.
Actually there are cpu socket replacements. Things are cheap, but replacing it is similar to replacing a gpu/soldered cpu. It needs a bga rework station.
Se puede quemar el procesador si los pines están doblados?
What pliers did you use for this and where did you get them?
9:18 he is talking something about it
Can two bent pins cause the audio port not to work?
if there must be a cleanup be done around the socket it would be wise to put the plastic shield back in the socket to protect the pins, lesson to the customer ;)
is the microscoop you are using very expensive, what brand is the microscope
Doctor of any Hardware
Do you have a link to the hand tools your using?
Is it not possible for you to replace the entire socket?
Before I start such work, I reference the damaged pins & start with the least damaged pins, that are needed. If a NC (no-connection / future use) is bent, I will leave it for last.
how can you understand a pin is no connection?
@@umutileri2261 look at the diagram for the socket in question.
@@zadekeys599 thank you
I have damaged pin coner of the area. How can that effect to the motherbord ? Will pc workes?
I'm here for literally the same thing. Trying to clean up some thermal paste, and just barely caught a few of the pins and bent them
Would it work to heat the pins up so they are less susceptible to breaking when you bend them back?
How?
And the plastics?
Heat and cold break the pin easier
I just had this happen after Christmas while upgrading my CPU, I somehow bent pins on a board that was less than a year old. A z560 board. I replaced the board but Id really love to get the other one fixed. Problem is, what is it gonna cost? The board was purchased on a christmas sale for under a hundred bucks, its normal price was slightly under 200. I could use the board to build a spare pc if i can get the socket fixed. It is lga 1200 10th and 11th gen intel cpu`s.
Aaahhhh do you have a Canadian friend that works up here in Canada..
Excellent ☺️ 🌹🌹
I can't believe those frail pins don't snap when being bent like that? So, what's the cost of bending pins vs buying a new board ?
Bent some of mine somehow and the shop said not fixable. Had to buy a replacement board, luck to find a used one and all good! There is a video of a guy replacing the whole socket, but I'm sure most people don't have his same gear.
What if you try to micro solder the pin?
I know there is no space, but I think it could've have work possibly with the correct amound of solder
I had to bend some pins back on a motherboard the other day but my hands are so shaky it was like trying to play the piano with a morningstar.
Which is this microphone ur using .. pls give link or name ..,. TIA
I want to know why there was thermal paste on the board before the cpu was seated into the clamp.
Hi bro it is possible to change new pin set instead repair it.
omg im so happy when i did that, i cleaned it with a tooth brush and IPA
great 👍
is it possible to buy a cheaper compatible motherboard and then swapping the entire socket?
Is it possible to heat the pins to prevent breaking?
