I recently sold my Asus Z490-G board on Ebay. Once the buyer finally received it, I was notified by Ebay that he had opened a dispute against me regarding the condition of the item. Said there were quite a few bent pins on the socket, and provided several pictures of the damage that, up until then, I had no prior knowledge of. I saved the photos for my records:





I'm...not even really sure how I managed to screw up so badly, but there it is. I can't return the board to Amazon because it's way past the return window (I tried) and all they could tell me was to contact Asus and see if I could send the board back to them (essentially an RMA) for repair or replacement. However, given the current pandemic, and all the horror stories I've read about Asus' RMA process, I'm not sure I want to go down that route. But the only other solution I can think of is fixing the pins myself, and given my vision (even with the help of a magnifier) I'm all but certain such an attempt would backfire.
Can someone help me?
