Straightening CPU pins made easier

   The mechanical pencil trick is one of those classic repair tips that still works surprisingly well. It's simple, inexpensive, and gives much better control than trying to bend pins with tweezers.

I'd only add that taking your time is probably the most important part. Even badly bent pins can often be saved if you make small adjustments instead of trying to straighten them all at once.
