Computer problem advice please
 
#16
eh. That's techspeak for "DamallifIknow, just replace it and he'll never know the difference".

Now, I realize its been a looooong time since I did work at the hardware level, but in general in my day the only way a failure like that COULD happen is if someone ELSE bent a pin or two (not easy) and then straitened it, creating stress damage inside. Think of it like a small ding in your windshield, intially it escapes notice but as the windshield is exposed to further stress the ding can become a growing crack, eventually reaching the edges of the window and the whole thing falls apart (CPU becomes Inop)

in general, though, the way chips were designed then it took an exceptional idiot to manage to bend pins because the damn things were meant to go in only one way and if it didnt fit people darn well knew not to force it but to use one's eyes and brains to see WHY it wasnt just dropping in.
