    Cpu and socket question..

    Hi....I have an 1156 ASUS Motherboard..When it arrived a week ago I immediately unwrapped the package to inspect it....I have through experience a phobia about CPU sockets and pins?? So when I noted a CPU socket cover on it I thought thats good and is it hiding something at the same time ....So I removed the cover ...My first impression was these pins do not look right ...they were all aligned properly but did not appear to be raised as if they had been compressed or flattened but I waited til I had better light during the daylight and also under a halogen light...Now I have another faulty 1156 M/B...One segment of the CPU socket the pins have been compressed while the other segment one can easily see they are raised the 0.3mm so that the contact point on the pin will touch the relavant CPU pad when the CPU is put in the socket...SO I think I can identify bad pins from good pins....BUT i decided I could be mistaken and that there was only one way to find out....I took my Gigabyte board out from my good working computer and replaced it with the Asus and my intel i3 CPU/heatsink/fan..put in my GE Force 9500 Graphics card and one stick of memory in the appropriate slot and hooked it up to my monitor and powered up ....
    All I got was a 2 second power to the CPU fan and a 2 sec halt with this action in a continual repeat..
    In my experience this is a classical CPU/Socket problem.......

    So finally here is my question ?????????????

    Is there a simple diagnostic method one can do to test whether sockets pins are actually contacting the pads of the CPU...when the cpu is in the socket

    Thats it ...Any answer would be appreciated...

    I have attached two photos of the socket ..maybe they will help..Thanks Hk

          it does look a little compressed, not sure if that's your problem though. Why were you replacing your other 1156 motherboard?

          you sure you didn't accidentally get an 1155 board? 1156 is kinda old

              Hi ..its difficult to tell..even when one can turn the board and get the different light reflections on the socket....I am not replacing my present board?? I have an i3 and i7 CPU both 1156 and i am hoping to put together two units and flick one off..Hk

                  have you tried the other processor?

                      Hi..To be honest I never ...and I have just wrapped the M/B up and going up town to post it back to its previous owner...As far as I am concerned it was a no goer and i really was not in a position to carry on with it...
                      Overnight I actually thought of a way that I could test if there is any compression of pins..so I do have a motherboard that I can try my theory out on..Hk

                          Possible to convert eMMC Socket to a micro SD Card socket?
                          by Isabella91
                          I have seen many posts where the eMMC can be read via a SD card reader, however can the opposite be achieved?

                          Read/Write a Micro SD Card from an eMMC Socket.

                          I have a Motherboard with a Kingston BGA153 ball socket, using HS400 bus mode, which is 8bit, as Micro SD is usually 1bit or 4bit mode, I accept that a loss of speed in read/write will occur, but I would sill like to convert.

                          Theoretically speaking, Im thinking if I hard solder DAT0-3 from eMMC to SD Card Reader, this should force 4-bit mode, or only DAT0 to force 1-bit mode.

                          Not to remove...

                          Hi.

                          I'm posting this here in part as a memo to self as well as to describe the procedure I used in case anyone else found it useful. I found a lot of the necessary information to make this work on this forum and I figured I would give something back. If this is not the appropriate place to post this, I don't mind it being deleted but I hope it can help other people.

                          I got an admin password locked HP Elitebook 840 G5 recently that I wanted to unlock. I'm a relative newcomer to reprogramming and unlocking firmware. The only previous experience I had was unlocking a BIOS...

                          Acer AN515-57-577G JDIMM1 socket not working.
                          by warsztat
                          Hello, Acer AN515-57-577G JDIMM1 socket does not work. GH51G LA-L181P, 2x DDR4 RAM, both good, both work well in JDIMM2, neither works in JDIMM1. The laptop displays BIOS, when the JDIMM2 socket is occupied, you can run Linux on USB, then everything seems to work ok, there is internet access and you can browse the contents of the 512 GB SSD in Windows, but starting Windows ends with an eternal spinning circle, maybe there are corrupted files. When the RAM is inserted into the JDIMM1 socket, the laptop starts but there is no image and the downloaded current does not change and the output is ~2.25A....

                          by Powderfanupnorf
                          Hi Everyone. First official post so fingers crossed I conform and also manage to get photos to work.

                          So I am requesting some help from anyone who happens to have one of these motherboards to hand and perhaps a multimeter.

                          My board has a single row of header pins for all the front panel stuff (have seen others where they are grouped together differently so thats no help) and the two pins for the power on switch had been previously repaired and I am trying to make a better repair. There looks to be pad and trace damage and im happy to relocate the header pin/pins to...

                          Where to find a very small fpc connector 0.3mm between 2 pins ?
                          by corrize
                          Hello, I search this connector (oxydated).
                          It's a fpc zif low profile connector. It come from camera sensor, it is very small : 0.3mm between 2 pins.
                          I ordered 2 from Aliexpress called « 0.3mm pitch » but one was 0.5mm between 2 pins and the other 0.6mm. In fact « 0.3mm pitch » seams to be the pad width and not the distance between 2 pins.
                          I can't find it. The other websites like mouser dont show the datasheet, and I can't check if it is 0.3mm between 2 pins ?

                          Do you know how to find this connector please ? What is the exact name for find it ?
