Sorta broke off the bottom corner of my bios socket, and comp wont post. I have a Nf7-S v2
Has anyone ever undertaken the replacement of one of these sockets, or is it even possible? I have a lot of ramsinks and an nb cooler on this board and I would lose them if Abit would even accept the board for an RMA.

It may be replaceable. Is the socket surface mounted, or do the pins go through the board. If through the board, it will probably be eaiser than replacing something surface mounted (unless you have very good soldering skills).
