*EDIT* Chatted and the support person said it will be about $258 + tax. It arrived at the factory today so I will have my answer soon enough.
Trying to repaste my CPU since it was idling around 80. When I opened the retaining clip holding in the power button ribbon cable, it caught on one of the pins, bent it up, and then broke it off. Warranty expired May 2022. I can't get the ribbon cable to make a good connection, but if I hold it in place, just so, it will make a connection and I get BIOS lights indicating a system board bad power rail. Paying for an out of warranty diagnosis, but pretty sure the MOBO will need replaced. Any guesses what that is going to cost me? This is my work PC and I can't be without it, but if I can buy a working used one for the same price or less than the repair cost, I should do that probably. So, to summarize, does any have a reasonable guess what this is going to cost me? They should be able to reuse my CPU and GPU since those were functioning just fine, right? Thanks in advance for any replies.
