What to do if the socket teeth are bent, plus if the processor cover is scratched?

Question

Iron

Hello, I have 3 questions:
1. When installing the cooler, the mount was tightened too much, which led to several bent legs at the socket. After turning on the PC, an inscription appears: no signal detected. Question: is it because of the bent legs there is no signal?
2. I have a little scratch on the metal cover of the processor, is it dangerous?
3. Should I just buy a new motherboard? Legs are difficult to replace on their own, and repairs are expensive.

Answer 1

Thanks to all! The problem was indeed in the socket, changed the motherboard, everything worked!

Answer 2

1. Are the legs bent or broken? It is convenient to straighten with a paper knife, but you need to do this very carefully so as not to break the legs
2. Most likely it’s not scary

Answer 3

1. There is no signal because with bent legs (more precisely, if not everything is connected or something is short), it may not start at all.
The solution - if the legs have not broken off - straighten with improvised means (a visually bent knife, if they are on the socket, can be seen by a "different color" when illuminated from the side with a lamp).
2. It's just a screen + heat sink.
3. If broken - probably yes, if just bent - a screwdriver / awl and not very crooked hands will help.

Answer 4

no signal detected - a problem with the video card.
And check the power of the power supply.
