How much to repair a bent CPU pin?

[dylankessler15432]

I have a friend who wants to use this spare motherboard I have, but it has some bent pins. How much would this take to repair in average?
It's a Gigabyte z170-HD3P.
Thanks!

Depends how bent.
You can do it yourself, if its not too bad.

Well I sadly won't be able to provide pictures, but there is only 2-3 pins bent. I tried to fix the original bent pin myself, but ended up making the situation worse.

Mechanical pencil with no lead in it. Spear the bent pin and bend straight. Use magnifying glass to check.

I've actually tried this, failed and bent more pins.

One of my systems, last year:

Bent motherboard pins
Before - No boot

After - boot success

Okay, so how much would it be if I can't fix it myself?

No idea.
You'd need to find a small repair shop. Not the counter monkeys at GeekSquad, for instance.

+1, Geek Squad won't touch that. Call a local independent guy.
