    Lol this is my favorite one yet. There’s no way that’s a real stock photo from a legitimate outlet

        I love that the heat pipe is bent and they ripped a cap lid off by the socket, too. It’s like they tried to take a photo of an inept worker but they were inept at being inept 😂

          How else are you supposed to remove the CPU?

          Anyway, ineptitude can be shown more subtly with some actual mistakes people make:

          • Bent CPU pins from forceful insertion the wrong way.
          • Ripped wires off a connector by not releasing the lock first.
          • Prying off a fan’s blade rather than unscrewing its frame.
          • HDD open in an obviously unclean environment, scratches on platter.
          • Using an obviously wrong (wood) screw.
          • Connector tabs broken off, cable is now held in with inappropriate amounts of clear tape
          • Prying something that should obviously slide away in another direction, visible PCB bending.
          • Burning a flat plastic cable while attempting to solder it.
          • Using glue instead of solder

    As someone who knows nothing about electronics repair, this is what I assume happens in the back of every repair shop.
