I have a Socket 939 CPU .... some of its pins are bent, and one broke after I tried fixing it. I rememebr someone told me there's a post how to replace pins ... ... ... Anyone want to point out a post that I cannot seem to find from search?

If youre careful, you may be able to bend the pins back to their original position with a razor. Ive done it a couple times, and it works, but you have to go super slow and careful.
As for replacing pins i cant say, but i was told once that you can put the missing pin into the socket where it is supposed to go, and itmight work. It might even be a pin that isnt used.
Look up the pinout and see what it does.

You need a fine tip soldering iron to replace pins, and some thin copper wire that is the same thickness as the pins are. What CPU is it?
Where are you located? I can replace broken pins along the outside edge. PM me if you want.
