Ok, that's good to hear, but how would I reattach it to the motherboard if I took it off mistakenly?

Hey everybody, I have had my old built PC sitting collecting dust for a while as a month or two ago it randomly shut off, and would not turn back on. More details about this larger issue at the bottom, but the smaller issue (and reason for this being in the CPU section) is this: I have...
