Good Evening All I have started construction of my K2 and have accidentally damaged the 40 pin IC socket for the Control board microcontroller IC.
While removing a stray piece of solder from one of the contacts, I bent one of the wiping contacts in the top of the socket. Is it better to remove and replace the whole socket (it is soldered in place now), or can I bend it back into shape without doing any damage to it. I don't want to cause a long term problem with the IC by leaving a possible bad contact ? Any thoughts please.
