hi there.



as i have already new motherboard (msi), i was wondering, if you could guys help me figure out what could i do to make my hero vii new again.



few months ago, i saw few bent pins. as i tried to bend them back, accidently i broke two of them, which looked like a grounding pins.



picture below how bad is outcome.















is there any possibilities what to do with it. warranty has been already denied by a store where i attempted to hand in. i am not going to cheat on some poor gamer trying to sell faulty item by hand. ASUS told me that socket replacement is available only in area where you bought it. so in Latvia its not possible. so its just laying on my desk without any proper application.



motherboard works just fine, boots fine. have seen one BSOD (with r9 280x graphics card inserted, so i am pretty sure its despite of overclock of it)

does anybody have any expierance with jeweler or stuff like that?

I'm not sure what can be done as I don't know what those two pins do for the CPU/Board. If it runs fine then there shouldn't be any issues but again, I don't know what those pins do. I will say that your camera is a beast.

those are called VSS grounding pins, so nothing important (i guess?), as i have lot of them in a socket. will try my luck trying to sell it for about 100euros, as its almost new, and bought for 200euros.

pictures taken with iphone 4s and olloclip lens actually :D pretty much cheap stuff.

I'd do some research on those pins and see the full detail. Maybe it'll still work and run fine? I hope there is someone here that clears thing up.

i have seen somewhere 1150 socket layout with all pins named. i was completely sure both of them was vss pins, but i could be wrong. one guy already told me that the broken ones are called - quoting: "1st one is RSVD and the 2nd is VSS"
really appreciate your help mate!

if its working I would advise against messing with it
the VSS pins are not critical

I agree.

If the board does end up giving you issues, see what a local goldsmith or a jeweler can do.

You can also buy cpu sockets and solder them on, it would require skill. Might also be possible to send it to Asus to have them solder a new socket on as a paid repair.

Instead of replacing a socket, find someone to replace pins.
I had similar problem with my current board (got it for free due to excessive damage).
I've fixed bent pins myself, but the broken ones needed more skill and patience. Locals in Kiev fixed it for an equivalent of $20, including 90-day warranty.

(I'm not suggesting this) OK I AM, I have used a small wire to replace one pin. The board would not boot without it, You have 2 missing. You have to make sure they only touch where there needed, but its a poor mans fix........

You Could get about 75 bucks on Flee bay for it, then start over with the 75.

The better way is to find another broken board (like an old LGA 775) and perform a transplant procedure.
There are few youtube videos on how to do it.
To make it "stick" better and avoid residue I'd suggest to use orthophosphoric acid instead of soldering flux to solder parts together.

since people aren't getting the point

LEAVE IT ALONE BEFORE YOU REALLY BREAK IT
YOU CAN NOT FIX THIS WITHOUT REPLACING THE SOCKET

update.
today i brought this item to service ,which specifies on doing IT stuff.
they told me, they will charge me 50euros for resoldering these two missing pins, they will use donor parts to reattach the missing ones using microscope. they told they have done it before. they will inform me as soon as they finish. i thought the pins are so tiny, there is no possibility to make a bridge between two, so how come its possible. they looked like a typical pc specialists, geeks, who really convinced me that they will fix it. i got a papers which indicates that all is legit.

any thoughts?

I'd suggest reading the fine print and understand what kind of warranty they have if they break it. Make sure that they understand that it currently works. You don't want them saying "Yeah, the board doesn't boot now. It's not our fault because it was damaged to begin with. We're still going to charge you for labor."

I've heard of LGA sockets running without pins without issues. Heck, my modded LGA775 socket has at least 8 pins that aren't connected.

I'm 100% sure it is fixable. As I said earlier, my current GA-EX58-UD4P underwent the exact same procedure, except my LGA1366 socked had a lot more damage to it.
At the time I did not have a rework station, so I couldn't fix it myself properly, but the actual fix is quite straightforward:

1) You de-solder a donor pin from another dead motherboard (requires hot air and tweezers)
2) Prep the target pin with either residue-free flux or acid
3) Cut down the new pin to fit into the socket on top of the old pin stub
4) Use fine tip soldering iron to wield them together.

Before restoration this board had 2 ripped tracks (ground and something else), ~30 bent pins + 4 broken pins. Motherboard gave signs of life with power attached, yet(even after fixing pcb lines) could not boot.
It took approximately 1.5 hours to realign all bent pins (which is not too bad for a first such procedure) and service guys fixed the rest on the same evening.

Even though there are people who advice against touching the socket, think of it as a car with a flat tire. It still rides, but there is no guarantee that you wont wreck it on the way home.
If the total cost of repairing the board is far below the price of a used equivalent - do it!

If the total cost of repairing the board is far below the price of a used equivalent - do it!
no just no because the op is intending on selling the board ...
the solder will never hold not on LGA1150 it with either stress fracture the pin or the solder will simply brake and fall off into the socket along with the pin and cause a short and fry the cpu

so if i will do a several times of installing-reinstalling cpu closing the socket and it will stay as its soldered? if i will do a several hours of cpu stresstesting producing as much heat as i can? i suppose, if it will pass this testing, can it be considered as a fair result? i just really dont want to believe all OneMoar say, because i have already handed in the item to service (even if he is right)

i will keep you updated. i really hope for the best scenario.
otherwise, i am not interested in this board any more, as i have new for quite a long time.
would it be cheating if (considering all becomes right, nothing brokes, boots, etc) i wont tell the potential costumer that i have made this repair, even if the result wont be noticable with naked eye?

Depends on your philosophies on life, I suppose. If it were me, I would disclose it.
I bought an Athlon 64 off Craigslist for pretty cheap one day. The kid looked like he was 15. Took a quick look at the chip to make sure it was what he was actually advertising, gave him the money, and thanked him. Got home, pulled it out, noticed that a good third of the pins were bent (and not all in the same direction, I mean like it had been trampled with a thousand miniature monster trucks.) Despite all that, I'd managed to straighten them all out without breaking any only to find that the damn thing wouldn't POST. The price was such that I probably would have taken it if it were advertised as-is, but I certainly would have appreciated a little disclosure.
