Hi Guys. Please help. I was installing my heatsink cooler on my HP Omen 17 GTX 1070 laptop but I may have used to much force and I bent the Socket into the motherboard and to the side. How can i repair it without damaging the threads of the socket and motherboard?? Please help. I'm worrying that 3 retention screws won't be enough to secure the heatsink onto the CPU diode. Dont get me the wrong, the screw does thread in and lift up slightly but it doesn't go in straight and it sitting against the edge of the motherboard.
Forgive my ignorance to laptop motherboard jargon. I'm still new in the field. Thanks in advance, I've attached pictures![]()

Considering they are apparently are not even able to remove ]]> from their code. Prety sure they don't have anyone that can code anymore so theres that. Sites getting more and more broken.GreatD likes this. -
These metal holes that hold the heatsink secured onto the CPU, one hole has been pushed down and against the motherboard. I need to know how align it centre so I can thread it back up so it doesn't catch against the side. -
