Missing Pin Issues

[hillkitler]

What kind of problems can be caused by a CPU with a single missing pin?

Does it still work? CPUs never work for me if pins are bent or missing. I get bent more than missing, though (damn you UPS!).

Look at the CPU pinout and see if that pin is needed at all. There are many factory testing or unused pins on processors.
