We returned the Board to the supplier and strangely NOW we have Bend Pins!
5 Pins are Bend now because of inserting the CPU on an angle.
What I found really strange is:
One of the bend pins is surrounded by 5 or 6 other pins and none of the others are damaged.
Just that single one in that area.
The other 4 bend pins are right on the edge of the socked @ half way up.
I could understand IF I placed the CPU down and forced with the lever.
But that would flatten loads of pins, not just ONE with all the others around it being fine.
I can't help it, but I smell a rat here.
best regards
