Mb 2 bent pins

[jrc523]

Hello community. I have question, on May 12 I order a mb from newegg, I start buying the components slowly... week by week. The thing is that I received the mb and didn't checked (bad mistake) I put it inside the closet and yesterday when I start building my pc I noticed 2 bent pins. What can I do.... Any advice?

What pins are they? You can try and unbend them (GENTLY) with small electricians pliers or tweezers. I managed to unbend 4 pins on an old Athlon Quad Core and it worked fine afterwards.

If possible an RMA is your first priority, And if not take an eye lens Sit on a clean static free Bright table take a small pin (I used a sewing pin) Stay relaxed and focused try to bend the pins back to their original place gently one by one.

If you bought it in may it should be in warranty ?
