So I've had a Pentium 4 3.2E S478 CPU sitting here for several months with a broken pin. It was pulled from a system and one of the outermost pins was snapped right off. I guess my question is, should this CPU be thrown in the trash? Is there any way to repair it? Do people buy CPUs with broken pins on Ebay?
Unfortunately I no longer have a s478 system to try it in, even if I did get it repaired. I just don't want to throw it away if it is in any way salvagable. I still have the retail box/HSF.
Thanks!
