I accidently broke a CPU socket pin on my brand new LGA1156 motherboard when a glove got snagged on the pin. It's a pretty long story but I don't think an RMA would fly on this thing, so i'm not going to waste my time there. Tough pill to swallow, i know, but i did break the pin afterall.
Anyway, i've already purchased a new mobo and I have a few days wait ahead of me. Is there a way to salvage this broken mobo in some way while i'm waiting? I've thought about doing it myself but i don't think i have the proper tools or the steady hand neccessary to make it happen. Are there any specialists out there who can fix this? I've tried calling a few computer repair shops but i've only encountered boot disc specialists who seem more interested in performing magic tricks for computer illiterate Windows users than dealing with my hardware issues so far.
Advice?
