you need a new cpu, if the pin is totally broken off

 

if you have the pin try putting the pin in the correct hole in the mobo then place the cpu on top, has worked in the past

 

Yeah it sounds to me that a pin is broken completely off of your cpu. This means that you will need a new cpu.

 

If (thats a big if) you can fix it. You would need to solder a pin on the cpu, just putting a pin in the socket wont work.

Putting the pin in the socket has worked for people.

 

Soldering a new pin is the best option.

It may very well work, but it's hardly ideal. At the very least you'd want to use a small dab of conductive grease to ensure proper contact.

How to fix a broken pin... as suggested above, may or may not work.

 

pin in the socket i dont think will work im sure pin falls lower than the cpu actually sits.. others prob worked cause they broke off a pin that wasnt needed.. soldering would be your best option but u would have to gold solder since the pins are gold on a cpu but buying new one or even used off ebay is your best bet

 

hehe , i bent like 10 pins yesterday on my cpu i just forced it back in the socket.. and voila its working rofl

 

YOUR CPU IS PROBABLY FINE

Not all the pins on a CPU are used. But what is more suggesive that your cpu may be fine, is the fact that you heard ONE beep.

If you heard ONE beep.
Look into either your RAM, or GPU.

GPU : Make sure the GPU is properly seated.
Or, try another GPU if you can.

RAM : Make sure all is seated well.
Also - partially bad ram will allow system to POST, but not boot (same goes for GPU).

So alternate single sticks / try RAM you know is good.

Dont touch your CPU with that soldering iron.

--edit--
If you havent the new RAM/GPU to dianose with;
Clean the contacts of your GPU, and your ram.
To do this, you'll need an eraser (rubber) and alcohol. One of those WAXY erasers (like the cox brand) rather than a grainy one is preferable. Alcohol, and an old toothbrush.

Rub the contacts of your RAM. Imagine there is something invisible you're trying to erase.
Rub both sides.

Also,wet your toothbrush with alcohol (not so much that it is DRIPPING wet - but wet).
Rub the contacts of your RAM, and let it dry (it will all evaporate)

Do the same for your GPU. Brush them off with the wet toothbrush, let them dry - then give it a try.

 

i heard only contunius one beep when i put it on the cpu.

 

hmmmm.

Ahh, I see. well... thats a different matter.
Motherboards often do that when the CPU is overheating / the mobo is bad.
When there is a bad CPU also.

I assume it was working immediately before this happened?

 

yes that is true.

 

Do you have another CPU you could borrow to test with?

 

Corner pins are easy to solder back on

You just gotta be extremely quick about it and get some ice on it pronto

You will get it a bit wet but just let it sit for a day before you try

 

You must determine (ENSURE) that the cpu is the device at fault.
It may seem obvious that is IT, but this step is crutial.

If it is indeed, I would personally go the route of putting a pin in the socket.
Problem is that its annoying when you have to upgrade.

Soldering takes a bit of experience, but it can be done.

Some general guidelines:
Try to keep the rest of the CPU as cool as possible when working.
Remember, the principle of soldering is NOT to get the solder hot, then drip it on the Job.
It is to get the JOB hot, then apply solder to it ^_~

Also, use solder with good flux - and if you can, practice on an old CPU first.

WTH!

Chrome made me dp. - i swear it didnt

sry

 

i try to put it the new cpu i have right now, it works fine.

 

Oh ok.
Well, if its the same model CPU - then.. yeah, your cpu has been skewered.

So, whats it going to be?
Soldering on a new leg, OR, dropping in a leg in your socket?

(the latter one is a pretty permanent application IMO)

 

rma that thing...

 

I read this whole thread, and there's no conclusion. disappointing. ..

Magic and rainbow oil. No it cannot be fixed, don't waste your time trying to soldering back on.
