I bought a new CPU fan and when i took the one I had it came out with my CPU(AMD Ryzen 7 I stolefrom my friends abusive ex so I can’t even be upset if it breaks and I was careful I made sure I was grounded when handling it)inoticed the pins in the corner were bent. I unbent them but I noticed these were gone. This is the corner opposite the corner with the arrow. I had to install this when i bought a new motherboard and it was fine ever since so I know it was fine before. So to get a background on what circumstances left to my question.

My monitor gets no signal when I turn it on. All the fans work including GPU. None of my USB ports work so I can’t use the mouse or keyboard. I used different monitors, and even tried my display port. There are zero beeps, Motherboard AMD B450,and I even reseated my RAM and GPU. I also took out and put back in the CMOS battery, and flashed the bios. I’ve tried Google to no avail. I also don’t have a second motherboard to test with. I’m going to get it diagnosed at a repair shop but I’d like to know is I have anymore options. I’d just move the components to my Walmart Intel motherboard but it doesn’t have M2 for my SSD.

This is my first build. I have a background in tech but never got into the career. Is there anything I can do to salvage this or will I have to actually buy my own damn CPU?

      We drove halfway across the country during the height of the pandemic shutdown to rescue that friend otherwise we wouldn’t have had the time. I don’t condone theft but fuck that man.

          You may be right, sorry about that. I’m mostly feel what happened was my karma. I can’t change what I’ve already done.
