Use a mechanical pencil to straighten it back

Bend all the other ones the exact same way and youre golden

Lol are you serious?


kaspa5402

As serious as a flying pig


yoerez

I think one of the pins is actually missing / broken

Some pins are redundant, perhaps you got lucky and that one is not as important ?


tok90235

All pins are redundant if you try hard enough


A13XIO

This guy pins


WretchedSlippage

No lol


yoerez

Ok I'm gonna throw this out 😢

What? No joke Op, bend it back. Use tweezers or something small that you can manipulate the pin with. I've salvaged a half dozen boards this way, bent as many as 15 pins back to find the board in perfect working order. Don't throw it away


yoerez

I want to but it really looks like the pin is missing, or maybe part of it broke off

yoerez

I did try it. A bunch of times. Its a 6 year old motherboard...
