Question of the Week suggestionsEach week we ask a question. The idea is to generate material that's:
* interesting to read, i.e. we won't get bored of reading the answers after about 10 of them
* not been asked on this site before
* fun to answer
What would you like to ask? (We've left this question open - so feel free to drop in ideas anytime.)

I was testing an old Athlon processorand noticed that one of the pins was bent. So I got a biro lid and tried to straighten it. Then the fucker snapped off. Fuckity fuck. So I cut a piece of copper wire from inside a length of eath wire, stuffed that in the corresponding hole and reinsterted the processor. I clamped the fan on and switched it on and fuck me, it beeped and started up. Didn't last long though. Maybe 5 seconds.
So, what integrated circuit packaging mishaps have you repaired McGuyver style?
Or to put it another way, what bodge-jobs have you pulled off that worked?

I like this onebut although I'm aware that there are several things I've bodged and some of them actually worked better than before, at this moment I can't remember any of them.
That is all.
