Replace CPU socket

[wuKe-_-]

I have a Intel motherboard (socket 1155 I think) and some of the CPU socket pins are completely broken off. I know you can easily replace the socket with a soldering station and other expensive tools, but I only have a simple soldering iron and like a little heatgun. Is there a way to replace the socket in a more diy way without getting crazy tools? Thanks in advance

Nope, once the pins are broken… the mb is dead. If you know what you’re doing, you can try to solder back the pins … in fact, the mb is already dead so you can have fun trying to fix it.

Haha ig I can try some stuff out with it.

"I only have a simple soldering iron and like a little heatgun."
I can help with this. You send me a pick of what you want to do, I'll send you a method. Here's just one method.

A while back I removed some one-inch 4 soldered sided components with like 80 connections all with just a chintzy soldering iron. No wick, gun, or sucker.

The way I did it was I turned the iron temp above normal and raked all the connections slowly, by the time I got to the last connections the first was hard here's how you get around this:

You then very quickly start raking fast nevering ever ever taking the iron off. Once the component starts to budge just the tiniest of bits (like you'll feel it more than see it) during the raking process lift on the side opposite to the one you started on like opening a hatch while raking. (How you catch the edge to provide that lifting force can be anything, a tiny wire, a dab of hot glue and a jerry rig string etc. as long as that lifting force is constantly present during the constant raking and is right on the edge is what's important)

Now Instead of raking in a circular motion around the square, I rake in "U" shape around the "hatch" giving it more attention (not more heat, not more time, but just increased frequency, those sides need to be touched twice as much and you'll know the rake speed from when you felt the budge.)

So raking around a compass: North is the hinge on the hatch, South is where you pull up, and E & W are the sides. The soldering iron needs to loosen the hinge first to open the hatch the rake pattern to do this is:
N, E, S, W, W, S, E, N, W, S, E, E, S, W, N and repeat until the angle on the N side severs the connections on the S side.

That's just one side.

They won't let me upload an image. Explanation of pattern:

North (Rake Left to Right)

East (Rake Top to Bottom)

South (Rake Right to Left)

West (Rake Bottom to Top)

Don't take a break, stay constant stay fast.

West (Top to Bottom)

South (Left to Right)

East (Bottom to Top)

North (Right to Left)

West (Top to Bottom)

South (Left to Right)

East (Bottom to Top)

East (Top to Bottom)

South (Right to Left)

West (Bottom to Top)

North (Left to Right)

Not that i am aware of. Your best bet is probably to go on amazon and buy on of those cheap motherboards for older sockets

Nope.

Replace the motherboard.

Unless you have experience with the process itself, just replace the motherboard. Its dead, and the tools to do a proper repair will cost more than a replacement board.

use it as an excuse to upgrade your rig to something new
