That makes sense. That’s good that it’s not damaged at all then. I’ll buy some contact cleaner spray then. Thanks!
Thanks! That’s good to hear that’s all good then.
I’m glad it’s just crud and dust then and that it looks good otherwise. Do any pins look bent based on that 2nd video? It looks good to me but I guess it’s hard to say. I’ll try to blow it clean and all first. Thanks!
Oh okay I thought it’d be very easy to damage it, so I’m glad it’s not. I’ll try that then. Thanks!

Motherboards in general are unbelievably tough. Not counting LGA sockets
I ended up using an antistatic brush to clean the debris out, and that seems to have worked. I'm glad motherboards are that tough then; it seems undamaged other than that small piece of debris that I easily cleaned. Thanks!Motherboards in general are unbelievably tough. Not counting LGA sockets

That's great! Yeah, motherboards are very tough. I was repairing a laptop once, and my screwdriver slipped and scratched the motherboard. It was near the CPU so I was worried, but it ended working just fine.
I've definitely had my scrwedriver slip a few times too and scratched it; I've also definitely just dropped the whole thing on the motherboard lol. It's a good thing it's still working somehow.
