Re: Cpu socket replacement


WOW!
Haven't seen this thread in a while, Wassa the board was a no boot with the pin missing. I googled it "CPU SOCKET MISSING PIN", found a kid that had simply used a wire to replace the pin(as it was only one) boom mine worked!! I put a used 2500K in it and even clocked it to 5200Mhz, if i had colder conditions I could have gone higher.

Right now I have a board I'm trying to fix(Z68) with seven traces that are cut, the previous owner tried to RMA it. Asus sent it back with a lil red arrow showing the minuet scratch, almost had them all replaced and my phone rang made my hand shift UGH! So its taking longer than planed. Here's a photo of the board before, by the time I'm done its gonna be ugly but it will live on!
UGH thought I had photos of it but not yet I'll post some up soon........Great thread!

Thank You!!

Re: Cpu socket replacement

As Wassa said it simply will not work, you will have a mess of melted items long before the socket lets go, your not heating the boards correctly @175 no solder will melt let alone reflow. @225 you will be there all day waiting for it to release but it never will, but if its free and you have nothing to lose then i'm sure you will do it.
I'd love to see the photo's of afterwards..........

Re: Cpu socket replacement

I did think about a thin copper wire but I think theres two missing pins on the board I have,what did he do solder them inplace or glue them? it's hard to see what your doing with things so small

Re: Cpu socket replacement

Actually I fixed my board, when I got it had one bent pin. It broke when I tried to fix it, then I remembered reading some one in a forum say he just used a wire and stuck it in the socket. The board wouldn't boot with the pin missing, I found a wire and stuck it in the and boom it booted up and worked fine. I know certain boards will work with one pin missing depending on the pin missing. i have a board I'm currently working on it has a scratch on the trace's 8 of them had been broken. But I wasn't handy enough to just solder over it and bridge it so I started using wire and soldering them in, the traces are so fine and so close. Well needless to say I used to much heat and flux, so the traces started to pull off the board. So some of them I had to bridge, I'll post some photos of it. I'm almost done but it seems every time I get near it, I over work it so I been staying away from it for now.......

@Vince
Cool man! Seems like everyone left and when I went back I saw what Pwner had to say so I didn't stay. I been over at Overclockaholic's with Sup's, most of them that left 411 way back when are still members but do not post there. And there is a click from another forum that has been very active, there a friendly bunch of guys. Yeah I was working but not lately, so I haven't really been doing much just trying to find my place. I'm back in NY, great to see you tell everyone hello for me!!!

Re: Cpu socket replacement

yeah that's right,i have one missing pin on my board and it works fine

it depends on whether its a redundant pin or not as some are reserved for future use ect

but this other board has two pins missing and it won't bootup at all,ill have to try with some wire but its fiddly when its so small

Do a socket diagram lookup, you might only need to fix 1 pin... nearly half the socket is VCC and ground.... what are the chances that two pins are for data signals?

@Jagger: that's cool, send me a PM to that click site if you don't mind sharing. and don't be shy and stop by for yourself... [p] is still gone, just a hand full of us there now doing our own little thing. No more ego's and poop.... that stuff is all gone.
