    When i was 16 i begged my parents to let me build my own computer and not buy one from the market, they didnt trust me because they thought it was only done by pc expert and i wasnt one but still at the end they agreed.
    when everything was shipped to house i was so happy and started to assemble everything with my 13 yo brother.
    We spent our whole afternoon on it and after loooong time of build i couldnt properly fit the cpu cooler.
    Later i realised that the cpu couldnt get in the socket because i had bent one pin forcing the cooler on top of it.
    I felt like heartbroken and terrified because i had to tell my parents i broke the most expensive piece...
    my brother told me lets try to repair the pin with a tweezer and it fkn worked

    Years ago I was building a PC with older parts and I mean really old parts from the 90's. The CPU I wanted to use was a Pentium 166Mhz. The pins on the bottom were bent up though. So I went and sat next to a table with a lamp, took the lamp shade off and help the CPU below the lamp and started working on the pins with a tooth pick. I got them pretty straight and the CPU worked.

    Replaced a motherboard because my first mobo was faulty. Bought z590 and splurged on a new case, and I had lots of help on the first time I built it because nerves. Over shot the thermal paste by a million and it squished out all over the mf mobo. Didn't know, booted it, nothing. Took cpu out, cleaned the hell out of it, picked thermal paste out of all the pins, cleaned everything as best I could, plugged back in, nothing. Pulled it back out, recleaned and noticed bent CPU pins. Thought I was fkd, so I got a toothpick and started bending pins back at like 4 am... put it back it, booted it, and it worked. Shocked.

    I'm late but it should be mentioned that whether you're using an iron or hot air, it can actually be easier to overheat components if the heat setting is too *low*, because you're applying that heat for much longer and thus it has more time to spread out into the parts that you don't want heated.

    Hi, I find a very easy way, to fixing the bent pins. If you use an
    unloaded mechanical pencil (with the little metal tube in the end), you
    will be do all of this extremly easy (if you have steady hands) and for
    bonus you can fix the pins, that bent in the middle. All you need to do,
    just load the the pins in the tube and bend to the right place. I did it with an athlon 64 x2 (sorry 4
    bad english).

    • @canwefixit8129
      @canwefixit8129 Місяць тому

      I'm surprised this video helped you considering he failed to fix the CPU and he spread tons of ignorant terrible misinformation. First of all those metal plates with holes in them that he was using to hold the loose pin in place that he kept referring to as "Solder Masks". Yeah those are actually called Re-balling stencils.... Solder mask is a paste/gel that cures to a solid under UV light and is used for covering exposed traces/pads on circuit boards. A reballing stencil which is what he was actually using is not at all designed for straightening bent pins or aiding in soldering pins back on a CPU. The purpose is in the title, they are for reballing chips that have solder balls on them instead of contact pins. The fact they lined up with the pins on the CPU is nothing more then a dumb coincidence. They are literally used for matching up to the pattern on a balled chip. You then spread solder paste over it filling in all the holes and then you heat it up with a hot plate or hot air station and the solder paste melts and turns into solder balls on a chip.
      You should not rust videos on youtube as actual facts and should always do your own research. Not to be a hater but Linus is not a actual expert nor does he really even know about half the stuff he demonstrates in his videos. You gotta understand for the most part, he just walks on set and reads a script someone else wrote and usually has no knowledge, skills or experience about things he gives lessons on. Gone are the days of youtubers posting videos of things they are actually skilled in or knowledgeable about. LTT is a business and they aim to post as many videos as possible about as many topics as possible to make money. Not because they have knowledge or skills they want to share with the world. I guarantee if you tested Linus on topics and subjects hes talked about in previous videos he would get most of it wrong or not remember at all. And again thats because hes not actually knowledgeable or skilled in these kind of things. He has a writer that googles information, writes a script, he maybe proof reads it and then starts filming. If you want actual good information and tips about soldering and CPU repair watch an actual expert who does it for a living. Not Linus and his team who researched and made a video about it in a single afternoon.

    I have been doing this for more than 10 years and have built an apparatus with which I can put individual pins in a hot syringe cannula where the pin fits right in and can thus place the pin where it is missing, hands-free. In this way, it is possible to heat this one PIN so much that it melts the soldering paste without the risk of other PINs being unsoldered or touched. Once the soldering paste has melted, I turn off the soldering iron on the cannula (basically a normal soldering tip in which I have drilled a hole in which the cannula is inserted) and wait until the CPU is cold again. In addition, the base board material is not charred, so my repaired CPUs cannot be distinguished from unprocessed ones. Perfect results with a centered and 90 ° position of the PIN.

    I didn't knew this could be done like this. I mean, I didn't have these tools, but hey. Back then my almost 70 years father held the magnifying glass, and I held CPU and needle in my hands. The problem with mine was that the bent pins were in the middile, so when I tried to push bent ones to side, to return them in correct position, I bent the good ones... Some fell off, like five. After a lot of stress, yelling swearing, giving up, I managed eventually, to align them as they should be but I was afraid of the worst. Turns out as you said, those were grounds or some reserved. The funniest thing is, it's AMD Phenom XII, you know, the one with secret two other deflected cores that shouldn't be working (i didn't knew this when we were buying the PC). Well hey, they work on mine! I OC'd it on around 3.5 ghz stable (3.2 ghz stock two cores) and it runs for about... five years now? Once I came home and my GPU was literally melting (AMD Radeon 5670 1GB Sapphire) GPU fan was melted and AMD Catalyst was saying that the temp of the GPU was 102c . I bought my PC in like, 2010 and I still use it. And I play Planetside 2 with it too. Cheers!

    That was a journey. I remember back in the 90s, I'm at my new workplace and during a conversation they picked up that I was "into computers". One of my new colleagues was a tinkerer who had bought an intel 286 powered IBM PC 15 years earlier.... taken it to pieces to "learn how they work", and had ended up with a pile of components dumped in a box in his loft for 15 years. He brought the box in the following day and by trial and error 2 hours later (they covered for me while I was reassembling this PC) I had the joyous pride of being able to call my new found friend back into the store room and reintroduce him to the now fully functioning PC he had destroyed 15 years earlier. The look of relief and disbelief on your face after resusitating that CPU immediately reminded me of that moment.

    Just clear up contact pad and for each pin, apply a little bit of solder then attach it to the contact pad with tweezers and heat it with soldering iron. Seat and place your elbows on desk so they wouldn't shake. It is way much easier than doing it with heater and mask. And anyway you should clear both pins and contact pad from old solder before and apply tiny bit of new. And one more tip - use something like tin-lead solder because it melts at something 180-190 celsium. It is just better cause you would apply less heat to unit.

    I've a few times where the damn solder just wouldn't freaking melt. In most of the cases I just needed to replace the batteries in my soldering pen. Other times it was actually the old solder on the board due to a coating on it that prevented it from melting.

    As soon as he pulled out the solder masks I knew that you slotted the pins into where they belonged and then lined up the rest of the ones on the processor (with the IHS side up) them before flipping the whole assembly and then heating it. If only I were Canadian I too could be a Linus.

    When I was building my first PC, I bought a MOBO secondhand and it didn't have an AM4 bracket for the cooler, my best friend who was helping me decided to ziptie the cooler to my CPU and I literally had to put the tower on the floor under my desk horizontally because it'd lose tension if it shifted, it somehow worked. Once I got the am4 bracket delivered, out of noobishness, I took out my cpu by pulling up the cooler, taking the whole CPU with it, twisting a ton of pins. I had to go to my friend's house and we took an entire 8 hours to get it to work because the pins weren't falling cleanly into the mobo. Eventually we said fuck it and forced it in, put the cooler on and the fact that it posted and worked was miraculous to me. I literally called off from work that night because I had been up for 24 hours at that point, and I still gamed all night because of how excited I was.
