Well if its snapped off you are kind of stuck unless you have a leprechauns solderin iron and a big magnifying glass :D If its only bent then ever so slightly get a credit card underneath it and gently push it up and use the credit card to line it up with the other pins. Ive sat on a cpu before (dont ask) and it had lots of bent pins. Used the credit card trick, slotted it back in and it overclocked faster then before :P

I have a couple of CPU's floating around. A 1.6GHz Pentium 4 and a 2.6GHz Celaron. Both socket 478. If you want more details about them let me know.
