I got a new case and was moving stuff parts to it. In the process my motherboard (Asus ROG Strix Z490-A) went into a loop that it was starting recovery process, which never loaded. I thought I messed up my M.2 drive. I did a lot of troubleshooting. Finally the red CPU status light would come on when staring to POST. So, I thought the CPU might be bad. I tried another one with the same results. I realized this morning that the board was under warranty, so I contacted ASUS and they issued an RMA. (YAY!)
In the process of getting the board ready to ship, I took out the cpu and was putting in the plastic deal that is for protecting the socket. Well, I bent some pins in the process. So, even if the board had been bad, now I was going to have to pay since I damaged it. Has anyone dealt with ASUS and have any idea about cost? It might just be cheaper to buy another boards. Here are pics of the pins before and after the damage.
Any suggestions appreciated!
