Help!! Pencil Trick on Athlon

[Yrrepy]

I connected the L1 Bridges but the computer won't boot(long beep, meaning problem with CPU), I tried erasing the marks but i still can't boot i have an Athlon 1 gig, Abit kt7-nonraid

Read the thread "What's up with this one?". I solved my problems by soldering the L1 bridges with 15W iron and soldering paste.

I don't know how to solder, and even after erasing the thing won't boot, anyone know a way to clean the L1 bridges well
??

I've heard of people using nail varnish remover to get rid of excess arctic silver and the like - it contains acetone, and is a very powerful solvent. A drop on the end of a Q-tip should do it, but I find just using an ordinary eraser works fine, and then a wet tissue to wipe off the bits - dry it and it's back to normal.

I used a rear window defrost repair kit on mine, worked perfectly and you can either scrape it off (when its dry of course) or use nail polish remover to get it off.

thanks all, i finally got it working, (no idea exactly how though), I might try again later to unlock the bridges

maybe the pencil accidently connected false bridges since the gap between them is very little
