Use a mechanical pencil. Just take out the lead, (or push it all the
way back up using a pin), and then place it over the bent pin and
straighten it.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Apr 29, 2010 at 8:06 AM, Dave Weiner <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:davew@coyotetechnical.com">davew@coyotetechnical.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Does anybody have a socket 754 Athlon 64 cpu they'd be willing to part<br>
with? When I shipped my computer from Philly it got bounced around<br>
enough that the cpu popped out of the socket and got a couple of pins<br>
bent.<br>
<br>
I'm having a devil of a time finding one to buy, and replacing the<br>
motherboard and cpu would result in cascading upgrades of the video<br>
card and memory as well that I'm trying to avoid.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
