Trying to fix busted CPU

HI.

i got a genuine 8051 (80c320) and i think somethings busted in it. i is good with a soldering iron and think i must fix it.

any manual , or whatever you can dig on this would be helpfull, I tried googling on it but after a while filter string went out of range (you know, -'<buying, seling , revievs, etc>'), and still google thinks i want to go on online shop to buy a LGA 775 Motherboard, on about first 150 pages.

  • Note that the bent pins may be the least of its problems!

    They may be just the external, visible damage.

    If it's been so carelessly handled that the legs are bent, who knows what other abuse it may have suffered...?

    In particular, Static (ESD) damage is not going to be externally visible.

    In other words, it may already be ruined - even if you do successfully straighten the pins.
