    Uhhhh what pins?

    Always carrying a camera is a must at my work


    Customer tried to change mobo, and since he couldent get the cpu off the heatsink decided to try and press the cpu back into the socket


    We asked about it and the customer explained that it had looked that way when he got it back from service from some other firm


    My Nexus 5000 psu started to go >pionk< and shutdown when i booted windows, so we loaded it down a bit to see when it failed, it failed at 200w on the 12v rails

    You call those CPU pins bent? I should have snapped a pic of the CPU out of one of my clients' computer. Same story. Wanted to clean the inside of the system, but instead of just taking an air hose to it he pulled the whole thing apart to clean each individual component. The CPU came off with the heat sink and he tried jamming it back together as a unit. Bent half the pins FLAT against the bottom of the CPU and broke off half a dozen more altogether. Then he couldn't figure out why it wouldn't POST. I quoted him a price for an upgraded system and he took my specs and bought the parts on eBay then brought them to me for assembly. I'm afraid I gouged him a little on the assembly .
