mazmac24 Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 I took out my cpu to see if I could upgrade it. After that, it never worked. I'm sure I din't staticize it but its posible. It happened on two computers. Is there something you need to do when putting a cpu back in cause it put it in right cause there is only one way to put it in. Thanks. Quote
moonlit Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 Oh dear. Oh dear, oh dear. Oh dear, oh dear, oh*slaps himself* Yeah, it's not certain but there's a fair chance you're gonna need a new CPU... Quote
Sparda Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 mmm... how hard did you have to pull to get the thing out? Quote
Jester Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 Agreed with moonlit. Take out the CPU and make sure none of the pins are bent. It may be possible to bend the pins back and HOPE that it will work. 8) Quote
mazmac24 Posted October 16, 2006 Author Posted October 16, 2006 I know. I'm looking for a new set of a motherboard and cpu. Its in another thread like ten below this one. Quote
mazmac24 Posted October 16, 2006 Author Posted October 16, 2006 Im sure the pins arent bent. Could a problem be that i scrated the motherboard when trying to take the heatsink off? Cause that was pretty tought the first time/. Quote
moonlit Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 Yeah it you scratch a trace on the mobo then it could be the mobo that's dead (and possibly the CPU as a result...)... Quote
Atari6502 Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 Ouch. Im always nervous about scraping the board. I like the heatsinks with the lever for adding pressure. I got one or two from ThermalTake. Quote
Dankiswess Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 If you scratched the mobo, chances are that's the problem. I dropped a screwdriver on one once trying to put a new heat synch on. Needless to say, kiss that mobo good bye! Quote
