CPU/Mobo Bent Pins on new Motherboard, any recommended service centers?

[MarioBros]

Hey Guys,

Few months back I purchased a Gigbabyte B760M G AX Motherboard
I was disassembling the PC (since I moved to a AM5 setup) and during the disassembling process, I might have bent few pins on the LGA 1700 socket without my notice/knowledge

I am noticing 3/4 pins are bent and the rest of the socket looks in good shape.

Is there any way to fix this ans save the board? or any service centers in and around Bangalore (fine to ship it outside Blore) who can get this fixed?

Any laptop repair shop should be able to fix it, a microscope is definitely needed to align them to the rest of the pins. While shipping the board make sure you put that plastic cover bracket on the socket to protect it from debris and stuff.

any service centers in and around Bangalore

There should be many in the tech city itself. TE members who live their might recommend you one.

happed during lockdown to my PC too when my micro fiber cloth got caught in the socket while cleaning. I used a slim metal tool (a razor blade might work better) to slowly bend them back. try it if you have the patience and the time. it doesn't have to be perfect just enough to not short but make contact correctly.
