Dell OptiPlex 3020 H81 LGA1150 Motherboard – Intermittent POST – For Repair / Spares

Genuine Dell OptiPlex 3020 H81 motherboard with LGA1150 CPU socket, being sold strictly as-is for repair or spares. The CPU socket has bent/damaged pins and the motherboard does not currently POST consistently. The previous owner advised that the motherboard was working with the socket pins in their current condition. During my own testing, I have also successfully managed to get the motherboard to POST once, but have not been able to reproduce this consistently. I do not have the specialist knowledge or equipment required to diagnose or repair motherboard socket pins, so no further repair attempts have been made. The board may be repairable by an experienced technician.
