is there any possible damage to either the CPU or the ZIF socket if you remove a heatsink and the CPU comes up with heatsink while the lock arm is still in its lock position?
reason for asking, this happened to me just 2 days ago while i was changing my CPU from a Athlon 64 3500+ to a 4000+
although today my PC is up and running fine (at least i hope i've done no type of damage to it) with the new CPU installed.
by the way, i've thoroughly looked at the 3500+ and all of its pins are intact and no physical damage can be seen so hopefully its still good to use again.
