username Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 oh, i got you, huh, i know you could try sending the board back to the manufacture for repair, have not seen those for sail anywhere though, is it still secure without it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea i think you're out a motherboard. The socket is wired for all the pins so its not like you could just replace the socket or part of it.
