[SOLVED] My i7 3770 is not working on lenevo h61m motherboard

[Body Sheded]

I didn't even get the chance to try my used cpu (i7 3770) because of some problems and accidentally a very little piece of dry thermal paste is on my processor not on the metal face the other one i cleaned it with a tissue and left it for 2 months and here i am trying the cpu with lenevo h61m and it's not working.
i don't understand what's wrong and i am confused the motherboard works fine but my cpu didn't work with it , *I left the cpu in a tissue outside the motherboard , the cpu looks very clean i tried to clean it with dry akai spray and it's still not working at all , the motherboard was supposed be gigabyte h61m but it's broken so i used the lenovo one instead.
i don't understand why the processor didn't work with my lenovo h61 , i didn't try other motherboards yet , and i can't think for any reason makes my processor broken, could it be the thermal paste? but my cpu is super clean i don't get it.
I came here hoping for answers..

Likely both H61 motherboards will need a bios update in order to work with any 3rd generation CPU.
You will need to install a 2nd gen cpu to update the bios. Could buy something like this $5 Celeron G440 Sandy Bridge cpu just to update the bios. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-Celeron-G440-G450-G460-G465-G470-LGA1155-CPU/333134834573?var=&hash=item4d90622b8d&enc=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&checksum=3331348345734d569c41c7384eb1a730f67c1486a8bb
That CPU is useless for anything other than this. 1 thread at 1.6ghz... Ow

U saying if the motherboard is updated it should work fine? i'm not really sure because the motherboard wasn't mine but do you think i've done something wrong ?
Did i screw up the cpu?

Check update to my previous response.

Intel CPUs are hard to physically break. Likely a little thermal paste will not cause issues if cleaned off of the pads.
I suspect the bios is the issue. Do you have a 2nd gen CPU to test with? Do you know what BIOS revision is on the motherboard?

It's complicated but i'm going to try an updated one tommorow and we shall see if my cpu is going work or not
I didn't even get the chance to try it 🙁
