Heres the story, i had a 1700+ JIUHB DLT3C, used it for a long long time, loved it to death... Then i got a 1800+ and started using that..
Then i wanted to get a 2600+ so i put it on sale (The 1700+)
Two days before i am about to ship the chip, my roomate stumbles upon my monitor in the middle of the night, knocks the chip off on to the ground....
THEN HE STEPS ON IT
Every single pin is either bent or broken, i'd say less than half pins completely broken off, the rest all bent.
I tried to bend back a few of the bent ones, but they just broke off. I used to work in a local PC shop makin PC's and sometimes i would bend pins slightly and just bend them back and stick them in...
but this, this is beyond me. =/ is this chip a goner or can i fix it?
F.Y.I: For some reason the core is still intact, not broken, aint that funny? But whats not funny is my roomate refuses to pay me for the chip =/
