ok wtf, ur cpu just ripped off, oh man, you're so fucked :icecream:
I'm just wondering, why didn't you wonder where the processor go? And in the future, if there's a fan on top of a motherboard, that's where the CPU is...

Also, I dust my fan with the crevice tool on my vacuum with a straw at the end of the tool so it would suck up the dust pretty well.

Tip for next time

coolzeldad:
Huh? You guys realize older cpu's had actual pins right? You can still remove those cpus.

Bent pins happen, just have to get OCD over position of the pins. Also, if you move them too much it could weaken the metal and snap them off - don't do this.

Depending on the cleaning method, you could have also shorted your system somewhere along the line, motherboard is common.

When you turn it on do you notice a difference in onboard LED lights?

But yes, you can always buy a harddrive enclosure for 20 - 40 USD from newegg, plugin the the harddrive, enclosure plugs into usb on another computer, mounts the HDD as a USB ( or possibly esata ) drive.

Can copy files etc, etc.

From the looks of it, cpu is a P III

Deathie:
You might want to just order a new CPU, granted it's not the mobo dats fried.


AND DON'T BEND THE WIRES.


What type of CPU is it? Since the wires are bent, go ahead and remove the CPU from the Heatsink (the part with the pins from the big block thing attached to it) and look for a model/brand.

Deacon:
So I didn't know that you could remove the processor from the heatsink
I told a facebook friend my problem

he gave me the internet equivalent of a "areyoufuckingkiddingme" look (in the form of text)
and told me what to do

Replaced
booted just fine

He also said I really need to upgrade
apparently this computer is >4 years old

Can this be locked now?
I appreciate all your help guys
