So here's the story.
A friend bought some 2.4ghz M0s on ebay. We sold them back on ebay however the processors arrived with bent pins. We got the processors back today, with bent pins.
One of the pins was bent so badly that it would flex by holding the processor at different angles. I tried to resodder the base however my 15w iron wasn't powerful enough to melt the sodder and I don't have a 30w. So, the processor fit into the slot with the broken pin, however when I pulled it out of the socket, the pin broke off.
I looked up the pin and it's w31, VCC. Two pins away, w29 is another VCC, as well as many other vcc pins in the surrounding area. We tried the processor in his NCCH-DL and it properly booted and detected speed, frequencies, cache, and everything.
It will be running sandra burn and p95 for a while to determine if it's fully stable.
What do you guys think, will it be okay?
