Consider yourself lucky. Do confirm their T&C before letting them testing your CPU.
Their what?

"It works Because I threatened it. 
" - " did you show it the sledgehammer" - "No, A flight of stairs"
"I don't want to be much of a forum Nazi but this situation calls for a hail Bosco and blitzkrieg someone".
If that does not work I hop in a Madcat and Blast it to microscopic Particles.

All the components are fine 'sep for the motherboard. Since the CPU is ok apparently my best solution is to simply change the socket in the mobo since it most likely didn't burn out and just the pins are bent. Anyone know a place in EU i could order one from?
Edit: found one already

Uhm, while this is possible, I'd say unless you have a rework station it's a fools errand and waste of money for the average hobbyist or even advanced level hardware modder. You need a rework station for this job.

Rolf - make sure you get an estimate on what they are going to charge you to replace the socket. Have the estimate in hand before authorizing them to perform the repair.

Replaced socket and NOPE. Doesn't work. From what I can tell it's probably a fault on their part but it's fine since i have a warranty for the job.

They didn't test the repair prior to returning the board to you?
