Pin on my socket mobo got broken and black.

Ok, I take that back, the best pic is the bottom of the socket, lol... the other two are unfocused messes...

I see some scorching on it, but no tip remnants.

Ok, so I found a Mobo + CPU combo which I can use (I5 650 + P7H55 USB3), and it costs like 80$ or something similar, so I might have to take it, but I realy wanna make this board work properly since then, I can give it to a friend to use with the I5 650 while I get the other Asus P7H55 USB3 and be done with it.

Stop procrastinating and take it to a jeweler and git it fixed, if it can't be fixed toss the piece of crap potato and buy a board, this is not rocket science!

Here is a better picture of the socket area with the broken pin.

Seems to me that one pin had broken tip which short-circuited with neighboring upper pin, so both turned "black". The only solution is another working LGA 1156 motherboard, since the repair, even if possible, will be quite expensive.

It's going to cost way more than the board is worth to fix....

I'd try to bend that short pin up so it does make contact.

 

[EarthDog]

I wouldnt...chances are it won't reach anyway.

I say it again, it's a good time to upgrade!

Use to be able to get a socket replace for $50 but not anymore

 

[Filip Georgievski]

I am able to get a full 1156 socket for 5$ on Ali Express, but idk how much the working process will cost.

The socket is not the issue, its the reflow station. I don't know anyone who still does it.

A quick Google search

Ok, now that im going to purchase a new Asus board ( second hand, in top shape) with an i5 650, i can experiment with this board a little and see if i can make it work.
I got an idea of a friend to go and order some Silver Conductive Glue ( Ali Express has some cheap) special for repairing PCBs and electronic stuff, with a needle.

With that, now i can apply minimal amount on the slot with the needle and let it dry out, and see if it will work.

Assuming you mean experimenting with your old board trying to fix the broken pin.....

GL!

 

[Filip Georgievski]

Board has arrived.
Second hand Asus P7H55 USB3 for 40$, and an I5 650 for 40$.
Now im waiting for a delivery on Silver Conductive Glue (special for PCB and electronic repair).
It comes packed with a needle for small aplication, so im hoping to get the MSI board repaired so i can give it to a friend to use with the I5 650.

 

[EarthDog]

Good luck!

I would of bought a board that is known working and not damaged (total hard head up above here)

 

[Filip Georgievski]

The MSI board was new bought 4 - 5 years ago, and it did its time, now with a small injury.
Im hoping to get it fixed, i wont give up on it, since there are not many board for 1156 socket.

 

[eidairaman1]

I'd get pricing on alot of 1156 boards first then get an estimate on the repair, if it costs more to repair id chuck the board as there is no guarantee the repair will fix thr board, it is known as saving time and money.
