Tech Tutorial | Fixing Bent Pins on a Motherboard | $25 Bargain

Hey, everyone!

Can dead and broken hardware be revived? Depends on the damage. I'm always searching the internet for bargain deals when it comes to used hardware. The other day I saw a post where someone was selling a dead ASRock Fatal1ty Z97 motherboard. The post said it was dead due to bent pins in the CPU socket. I asked the seller if any pins were missing. They replied none are missing, just bent. For $25 we got a great deal on a Z97 motherboard.

We received it and carefully fixed the bent pins. Tested the system and it seems to work! I was provided with a sense of pride and accomplishment!
