I took a punt on a Ryzen chip with a broken pin (I think it's USB_HSD1P) and wondered if anyone had ever tried a repair? I'm fairly certain the CPU won't work as-is so I'm going in to this with eyes wide open, I've got an A320 mobo to test anything with before putting in my main rig.
There are 2 options I've seen:
- Drop a loose pin in the socket and put the CPU on top
- Solder a pin from another CPU
Since my soldering skills don't really exist the first option seems simple but I imagine pretty risky. Can I do the 2nd option with a heat gun maybe?
Wish me luck!
