Back of Mobo has bent pins

[jackal96]

The back of my motherboard has bent pins...I stood on it for a second but not with all my weight, and on the Heatsink. (Its at the foot of my bed, in a box until I get the rest of my build.) I then looked on the back and found a few pins bent...I put two of them back, but one was bent and wouldn't go back.

None of them are touching other pins or stuff and I hear thats not TOO bad in most cases...However another pin right next too the one that won't move isn't bent so obviously shouldn't be like that...My mobo is a F2A85-M btw...

There may be issues other than bent or not-bent pins.
There is no way to tell until you turn it on. Or send it back.

If it looks like the solder dot moved/separated from the circuit board is not good. leave the bent in alone as long as it is not touching anything else. You might be in luck ,but if one problem arises after the build this might always be in the back of your mind. can you post a good pic?

I'll take a pic when I've got the camera at my aunts today. The damage looks relatively minor...nothing broken in terms of circuitry etc... at least, that I can see :/

The first time you turn it on, please have a high framerate camera pointed at it (with good lighting)
Sparks and smoke curls in slomo are always fun to watch.
