Can you fix or replace a Socket 939 ZIF module?
I was working on the daughters computer as it was noisy and BSOD'ing on her. The culprit ended up being the stock AMD CPU fan.
The then went to take off the Heatsink and fan from the CPU (it was partially clogged with dust and was making noise). When I removed the heatsink, it ripped the CPU with it as well.
right out of the ZIF socket.
I decided to go forward, clean the heatsink, reinstall the CPU (AMD Athlon 64 3700+ San Diego), add some new arctic 5, upgrade and replace the heatsink (I attached a near silent 80mm fan that I had where the 70mm stock fan was), and start her back up. It worked great.
I put it aside as I was also doing a chinese Hard Drive fire drill between the server and her Computer.
I pulled her computer back up the front of my workbench, plugged it in and it came right on but didn't with a blank screen. I had this happen once before years ago. It generally means the CPU is not installed ... or not in right. I pulled the HEatsink back off andonce again it was stuck to the artic 5.
I took it back off tried again and now it started making a siren noise like a police car.
As far as I can tell, I think the ZIF module is broken and make a "snap" noise when I put the CPU in, and then release it again.
Can these things be replaced repaired. I figure the Motherboard is trashed otherwise so there is no harm in trying.
I bought her a new motherboard, CPU and some ram (her's used DDR). The board (Machspeed Viper Mk8) isn't a bad board. I might use it to upgrade my home media server...
