I picked up a Celeron D 2.53Ghz socket 478 CPU from the e-waste recycling plant yesterday for 50c.
It had a lot of bent pins and I managed to straighten out 99% of the bent pins, except one which broke. It's in the closest line to the center of the CPU. I still have the broken off pin here and I think the solder pad went with it as well because I dont see any silver bit remaining on the CPU as it's stuck to the gold pin that broke off. So I'm looking for a schematic of the socket 478 CPU off the net to try and determine if this pin is just a common ground pin or if it's an important pin to the CPU.... is there a schematic of the socket 478 CPU anywhere on the net?
Otherwise, if I can't fix it, it will become a wall decoration.
Thanks.
