My usb 3.0 pins in my motherboard got all bent somehow. Am i able to use tweezers when its powered off and unplugged to try fixing them or will i short the board? Really dont want to have to spend money on a new one
 
Solution
Power down system, unplug the rear power cord, push start button a few times to help discharge any residual current. Then disconnect 20/24 pin connector from the board. That should eliminate any possibility of shorts. Best of luck.
