IP35-E Missing / broken pin on CPU bed - still working ?

[pob1]

Hi
I'm in the middle of a build using old components from my last upgrade.
The only item i had to buy was a reasonable spec mobo - ended up getting this IP35P off
ebay. Upon close inspection I am seeing that one pin is bent or half missing but when i powered on
the system posts and goes to BIOS , have'nt loaded OS yet.

My question is : is there any way to find out what this damaged pin is used for ?

Pin in question would be 5 colums in and 4 rows high - this is when looking at CPU bed with
Memory to the bottom and going from right to left from righthand edge of motherboard.
(ie about 5 o'clock if CPU bed was a watchface)

Any help would be grestly appreciated because I am selling this spare parts build so dont want to be selling someone a lemon or getting it back fried in a couple of months.

Cheers - Paul

AFAIK if any pins in the CPU bed are broken, then it won't run.
