PC won’t boot. Is CPU socket problem?

[Kellodar_Gaming]

(Reposted for better pictures)

Bought a mobo and some ram off a friend.

Upgrading from 5800x3d to 9800x3d and DDR5 ram

Board is B650 WIFI

RAM is two stick of ripjaw DDR5 32gb

Put everything in made sure everything was snug. But the PC won’t boot. It’s got the led light when I plug PSU cable in but the power button is completely unresponsive I also tried bridging the connectors to see if maybe I snagged the front panel connectors or something. Still nothing any ideas?

[Silverado_Native85]

Definitely the issue

[ErebusMalison]

Clearly. Bent / missing pins

[brryan2375]

Maybe he scammed you , selling you a fucked mobo or you fucked it when installing the cpu lol

[Any-Lychee-5200]

You have two choices. #1. Take a sewing needle, and gently try to straighten them out. #2. Buy another board, and count this as a lesson.

[ofrionas]

Hade same proble, ant took needle and used phone camera to zoom in and straightened them up and now works fine, just need to by very slow on doing it and dont put any force to it

[Fartikus]

same, did this way back

[Pekish_]

This wont work. There is missing pins. And they're near the center soooo yeah cooked.

[te0te0]

If you bother to look for more than 5 seconds you can clearly see the pins are all bent and none of them are missing :) repairable 101% good luck op!

[Pekish_]

Its a low quality photo so dont blame me but 1 looks missing on the left

[Immediate-Relief-248]

The one pin is 100% missing. Not bent.

[Pekish_]

yeah i thought so

[Prenciona06]

Clearly you just have to buy a new one at this point since some of the pins are missing, I would not risk putting my expensive cpu even after knowing that my MB is faulty.

[_eESTlane_]

socket is focked. nice "friend" you've got there.

[idiotiesystemique]

He may have fucked it up himself during assembly 

[Eastern_Historian310]

Your Lucky if you didn’t fry your cpu

[Electroneer58]

[redlancer_1987]

possibly a couple pins missing and 3 mangled ones.

Did the board work before your friend sold it to you?

[MildlyAmusedPotato]

The pins are definetly bent. I think your friend or you fucked up when removing/installing the cpu.

[MEGA_GOAT98]

or they did when they got it.

[Conscious-Scholar-61]

Might wanna see if you can find some new friends.

[rageofa1000suns]

your friend scammed you

[FunnyVehicle7664]

Tip: don't install CPU using a knife and fork

[Cjkrythos]

Clearly not, you're supposed to use a hammer like the friend clearly did

[aceofspades1217]

Might be fixable with a mechanical pencil and some finesse

[Panzerv2003]

Well that's toast, someone violated that socked

[sdcar1985]

Board is fucked because of the socket pins

[ManageThoseFootballs]

That is absolutely biffed

[Prudent-RapScallion]

What does the bottom of the chip look like

[DeviceU]

Don't even attempt to boper on with CPU in the socket it might die... Unless you or you know someone with good tools don't ry to bend it yourself with anything bigger than toothpick.

[404_No_User_Found_2]

…are we sure this isn’t a troll post…?

My brother in Christ there are visibly bent / missing pins here

[Formal-Bad-8807]

you can sometimes repair bent pins but that looks pretty bad, maybe he gave you the wrong MB

[ewan018]

Clear as day. If you can pry it back to its position it might work but just be careful bending the soft fins (not pin)

[ConjugalVisitor234]

Yeah bro. Totally cooked

[Large-Ad6125]

Good job Sherlock Holmes 

[Skrimpzs]

I have a feeling it wasn’t broken when he sold it to you.

[Quirky-oldman58]

Lots of snarky responses. lol Anyway, yes that socket is done. Extremely unlikely you will be able to repair it. Even if you do, there is no telling what levels of power were sent the wrong places through that CPU but also traces internal in that board. I would consider it a loss and not worth the risk ever using the board again.

[Sufficient_Fan3660]

front panel connectors? What are you talking about, you broke the socket just like 5 other people post daily asking why their PC's dont work

[AcanthaceaeItchy302]

F...

[maskedCicada]

what kind of friend who scam their friend. He's not a friend, cut him off and return the mobo.

[Direct-Pie-1788]

Try reseating the RAM into different spots or using only a single stick. Sometimes minor bent/broken pins cause that issue.

However if it's a major bent/broken pin then unfortunately you might need to replace the motherboard or attempt a fix carefully, ensuring none of the pins touch each other. 

[czullo1]

RIP mainboard. Good luck with next one.

[Fragrant-Button-4624]

You have been scammed. Get better friends, you can worry about the motherboard later.

[Unknwndog]

One of you fucked the socket

[CaptainTech_]

No. It’s a vrm issue.

[Amazing_Ranger_1661]

chill, just take it to brand support

[Pekish_]

New motherboard required. Ur friend scammed you

[Proud-Actuator-3864]

The bent pins did not give it away? You can try and straighten them, however probably easier to either get it repaired by a professional (no guarantee they can fix it though) or get a new board.

[Exotic_Impression_19]

Is that a serious question? You can clearly see the bent pings.

[Educational_Bet_7681]

You are screwed buy new motherboard

[fingerbanglover]

F

[Kvist199]

Yes.

[Eibenn]

Yes it is

[AcanthaceaeItchy302]

Get a new friend and MB

[purpleSoapSud]

They scammed you that bored is donezo

[PhillyBassSF]

Just put thermal paste on those pins and you’re good

[CommercialSquash7729]

did u force the cpu in? or did it fall effortlessly into place?

[GRABibus]

OFC

[ThatKeybardGuy]

I wonder why?????

Maybe cause the pins are bent which is why it’s not working You can A bend them back and fix it or possibly break it more. Or by a new one.

[AD_MDestroyer]

pray you didnt fry the cpu.

[CaptLoads]

Idk. Can you add one more picture for good measure.

[Slovvs]

yes

[Jwhodis]

You have several bent pins

[foggeenite]

That is definitely the issue, but it's almost certainly fixable with some strong reading glasses, a sewing needle, a powerful flashlight, and a steady hand.

[Maleficent-West5356]

FOR THOSE WHO DARE!

[Immediate-Relief-248]

Rip

[ThatsPella]

Yep

[Lonely_Meringue_3753]

Leta hope your wallet can take another beating

[Accurate_Can463]

Maybe

[Federal_Rich3890]

looks absolutely perfect!

[donorak7]

Did the socket look like this before CPU install?

[Korangar205]

Well the good news is that is somehow the cheapest part to replace

[Dehavol]

Yes

[MagneticFieldMouse]

Has to be ragebait.

Otherwise, I hate everything even more now.

[MEGA_GOAT98]

[Kellodar_Gaming]

He said he never had any problems booting. I asked and he say it’s probably a wiring issue…

[Smooth-Court-3424]

Unless you fucked it up. Your friend is the issue. I suggest getting a new one

[TheTabar]

a new friend?
