    well ONLY if you have uber soldering skills you might be able to solder it back

    tell us what cpu it is exactly - you could probably find what most of the pins do :)

    That's the most jumbled up information ever.

    You cannot have a Pentium 4 Celeron. It's either a Pentium or it's a Celeron. As for the 517 I don't know what thats supposed to be. If your saying thats the socket type then there is no socket 517.

    You may have been lucky with that pin, you never know.

    hahaha wow i agree very lucky with that pin for sure, I broke a pin of a pent 4 once and that was that for the cpu lol Another time some pins were bent and my friend could'nt get the cpu back in so he slammed it in....still works just fine but an i was surprised.

    Your really lucky!

    That's more than likely a Socket 478 then.

    Pls do. Lmao @ P4 Celeron, know what you mean about the Thermal Compound going hard tho. Perhaps taking your time rather than ripping it apart?

    1) Make sure you heat up the block before you attempt to remove it to ensure the past isn't hard.

    2) Fine a paper clip thin enough to fit into the socket. Then cut it down so that it will fit in the socket and from a connection to where it belongs on the CPU. That should fix the problem but will render the board useless for any other CPU.

    i run my main computer 24/7 and yesrterday i decided to change the southbridge heatsink, the thermal compound was glue like even now removed it is sticky so sometimes having warm parts doesnt help, although no broken bits.

    try breaking some more off and test to see if it runs the same or better see how many pin you really need, i would hate to find out that you only need 2 pins +12v and - ....
