Bend Pin (8pin atx12v) Computer not posting

[ChevyOwner]

he could just cut a lenght of solid wire and jam it in the slot
its only a ground

Looks like a 12v pin to me. The pinout also matches for 12v.

oh oh oh can I recommend something? In the off chance the board is toast for other reason you could simply jumper a small wire using a tad of solder from the crushed pin to one right beside it on the backside of the board. Which you can easily remove if the seller offers a return for broken shit. If it works then go back and re-solder the wire really good and find a way to make sure it insulated then you have a permanent fix.

Hey,
The board isnt toas , all the fans spin when turning on.
Just no POST because of CPU

To sum this up for you..

You can do these jury rig fixes which would work great 99% of the time if you had experience doing them...

But you don't, so unless you want to risk destroying everthing plugged into that motherboard you need to get a refund from the seller or buy a new board.. not used off of ebay (our sale section is pretty safe).. because that's dumb.

I wouldn't hold onto that claim until the pin is fixed. I have a couple trash boards that fans spin up and all that but don't post due to the motherboard being bad. Also actually it should post if you can get the 4 pin cpu connector in there fine. I have tested boards using a 4 pin psu cpu connector in the 8 pin connector on the mobo and they boot just fine. I wouldn't run it full time like that but it should post ok. And this is why I said the board maybe toast anyway.

Heyya,
Iknow i can use 4 pins just fine , but 1 is missing so i know for a 100% that its the pin.
Otherwise i didnt post this thread
I am looking for any way to mod the ATX so i can make contact with the broken connector.
But i see there is no way to fix this without damaging anything

I would absolutely open an eBay case against the seller, Item Not As Described. Not sure how eBay is in the EU

This is the most glaringly obvious choice.

Moan, open a case, complain that the item is clearly damaged. If there are no pictures on the original selling page clearly showing an unbroken 8pin socket, then you have a very large chance of successfully getting a refund. In EU, 99% of the cases, eBay sides with the buyer, even if they're idiots.

Get a refund, buy a different board. Unless you're a soldering veteran, I wouldn't attempt to solder that board, for fear of borking something else while you're at it.

Except the bent pin is not one of the pins for the 4 pin CPU connector, but it is used for the 8 pin.

Exactly if it won't power up with the 4 pin plugged into the side with the 4 good pins chances are it is not going to work even if you fixed the connector. You can solder a whole new connector to the board and I believe you are going to find there are more issues then you think.

Agree, Open a Dispute with EBAY Every auction I looked at "seller does not offer refund" But

EDIT, Go find the link to that auction [in your email ect] let them here look over pictures, even how reputiable the seller might be.....................or not

Even if the buyer caused the damage themselves, they usually get a refund, one of the reasons I hate selling on there now, I don't want to waste my time taking multiple pictures as documented proof for each sale.
