Hi;
my motherboard's LGA socket is missing a tip of a pin -not the whole pin just the head- and it refuses to work -it works but keeps restarting berfore entering the POST screen-,the mainboard came with an error reporting system using 4 lights...they indicated a cpu error.
I checked the LGA 775 diagram and found that the missing pin is a common clock not a ground one...I tried several times to attach a small thin wire to replace the broken pin nothing was able to fit in there
Does that mean my motherboard is dead??
Can't I do anything to fix it?
is it possible to replace that LGA model using simple soldering techinques?
Iam really upset...I have been saving to get this fan and now the new mainboard is gone
any ideas are welcome
