When it's all said and done you've got to assume that if a chip manufacturer went to all the time, trouble and expense of designing a CPU with heaps of little legs on it, the loss of just one, might, just might be seen as being important.
Sure you may get it it to start up, hell you may even get it to load an operating systems, but I'll bet you 10 to a gallon of pigshit you won't get to do much else.
Listen to those who know and I'll speak slowly here,
If your cpu has a broken pin then it is stuffed.
If it didn't need that pin it wouldn't have been manufactured with it |
