Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Is this what happens to all the CPU on the carpet for photo specials we see?

Ahhh yes the wakey hairdo that cpus think are good ideas:
In order to prevent please regularly cut your cpu’s hair

Don’t worry. Here is what you’re going to do, and you need to be very precise and follow each step here, you can’t skip any.
1. Grab a mechanical pencil. A regular pencil won’t do the trick. It should probably be between 0.5 and 0.7mm in diameter.
2. Grab a piece of thick cardboard.
3. Take the pencil and write on it with a firm hand: “I’m not allowed to go near computer parts every again”. Take a good look at this piece of cardboard every morning.
There. I don’t guarantee the CPU will work again though.

Oh no bro.
Fixable 😵
Looks like somebody needs to invest in a good CPU comb.
hairbrushes are significantly cheaper and better for brushing your hair
It was obsolete anyway
Did you slam it?
Ouch! 🙁
Have you tried putting it in some rice?
It’s just a little bent, it’s still good it’s still good.
That’s what nightmares look’s like
It does not fits? Just twist it around and press harder)
You can fix that pretty quick with a razor blade as long as their are no broken pins
You just gotta push it in the slot harder!
This looks like bro tried twisting his caked on cooler off and the chip came with it.

Every pc builders worst nightmare lol, even to this day I treat mounting a CPU (which is so easy now) like I’m diffusing a nuclear warhead.
