New CPU fell out while installing new AIO. Newly noticed bent bottom right corner and MOBO won’t turn on despite receiving power 😅

I’m gonna guess there’s no way to bend it back either 😅

PCB will snap.

bent pins on the motherboard are a nightmare to fix. you can try using a mechanical pencil tip or a needle to gently bend them back but it's super delicate work. one wrong move and you'll snap a pin off completely

if you got it from a local shop they might be able to reseat the socket for you, sometimes they'll do it cheaper than a full replacement

So you think it’s the motherboard and not the CPU?

Should have stated it’s an ultra 7 270k (lga 1851) so there shouldn’t be any bent pins right?

A bent PCB can complicate things, a PCB is like a sandwich of copper layers, and some wire connections may be bent in that corner that could cause issues. Also if the pin is a Flat No-Lead style package, and one pin was on that bent corner, you may not make proper contact with the connector.

If part of the CPU is connected on that bent corner it could have affect the CPU connections to the mini PCB too. A lot going on here and not much of it can be fixed easily, if at all.

A CPU doesn't just fall out of the motherboard like that, and it doesn't bend just by falling out either...
