Ms. Hellen Chen, tell me that they haven't a officer in Brazil. So they couldn't sale any parts here. See below.

But they others sales representative officers, in Asia, Europe and USA. If we could buy a hundred of units, its solve the problem of many people, with the same afraid.
Someone would contact they, to talking about this issue?
The problem is that the socket can't just be replaced. All of those 1156 pins in the socket are connected to the motherboard, probably through a ball grid array or similar. Removing the socket from the board would require heating the socket and board so that the solder points melt. You'd then need to restore the balls before putting on the new socket and once again heating it all up.

This process is very delicate and cannot be done without expensive machinery. Simply put, it needs to be done at a PCB assembly house. The problem is that it would be expensive and I doubt anyone would even take on such a job. Besides, the likelyhood of failure (i.e. destroying the board in the process) is high.

So, unfortunately, the best solution is to simply get a board with a LOTES socket already on there.
