Hi,
I recently removed a pentium 4 1.6ghz processor from my mother board. While trying to remove the heat sink from the processor, the square metal back of the processor became seperated from the circuit board part that has the pins. Can this metal back be reattached or is the processor useless now? It appears that it was attached with some kind of adhesive. None of the pins were damaged during the process. Any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated as I hate to throw it away if I don't have to.
Thanks.
