CPU Repair Services
At Silicon Alley Electronics we believe in getting the most out of our equipment. That is why we understand the stress of accidents leading to damage on processors that are perfectly capable of lasting for many years. Fortunately we are able to fix both bent and broken pins on processors for a fraction of the cost of a new one. All processors that we repair are benchmarked prior to being returned, and we have a success rate of over 95%, which is why you only need to pay after the repair is successful.
FIX BENT PINS
Pins that are bent do not allow the processor to fit into the socket correctly. Even slightly bent pins will have the possibility of the processor not seating completely in the socket resulting in various performance issues. Pins are very fragile, and if you are not careful they can easily break off when being bent back. For our service, processors will always be returned with perfectly straight pins so your processor can drop right into the socket without any issues.
FIX BROKEN PINS
Have you broken one or more pins on your processor? Not all pins are vital to the function of your CPU, but many are and if they break many believe this spells death for your processor. Fortunately, this is not true as we offer the service of soldering new pins on to your processor, restoring it to perfect working order for a fraction of the price of a new one.

Unfortunately, not all CPUs are repairable. There is no guarantee that the CPU will work after the damaged components are repaired, although the success rate is high. That being said, repair costs will only be charged if the CPU works. The customer is responsible for shipping costs regardless of outcome. If you would like to sell your CPU instead of going with a repair, we can purchase it from you as well. Thank you!
