I’ll always remember when I accidentally bent a CPU pin and had to manually straighten it with pliers… it was terrifying 😭 (but that CPU is still working perfectly in my computer 7 years later !)

I dropped a new CPU and bent a whole row of pins such that they were just touching the pins on the row beside them. I wondered for a long time how I was going to bend them back and get them all straight again. Managed it with a stiff credit card edge and was so relieved when it booted!
