Well the title says it all.. here is the complete story..[Techie ppl skip para 1 
]
A few months ago, my cousin's mobo went kaput, [i think deejay remebers i mentioning about this] is had no warranty, so that guy had to wait for some time to get a new motherboard. finally went on 24th of this month and brought a mercury mobo based on 845 chipset, his is a celeron proccy, 2.0 gigz, so i didnt feel the need for a better mobo, anyways, brought the mobo and gave it to my cousin. now what his elder brother did was installed the proccy on the mobo..
the next day morning cousin came to my house, told me that he had installed it and its not working. went to his place, took out the hsf asembly and saw the proccy, voilla, 2 pins completly bent, that is flat against the surface.. took a needle and straightned one, then the other, well, u must be wondering where is the broke part, well here it is, the second pin had bent like an arc, tried straightning it, and well, it came off..
i had no idea what to do with it now. read a few articles and they said that it can be repaired/reattached at a jewllers shop. went back to tell my cousin, but he had by that time already left of Globus [hardware repair shop] called him and told him about taking it to jewllwers shop, he tok it to all the places he cud think of, all said nothing can be done, he came back, i took the proccy from him and took it to a TV repair shop, he took a copper wire of almost equal diametre, solderd it on the proccy, cut it, and gave it to me in 5 mins, installed the processor on the mobo and it went in without any porblems.. runing fine, havent ran any tests, but ran a few games including UG2 on interl extreme 2, so i guess its stable enough..
any comments ppl?
