hey guys. i got an n-force3A 754 motherboard and an AMD Athlon64 3200+ cpu and been havin some problems trying to lock the cpu into the mobo.

i think the prob is that the lever on the mobo that you push down and lock the cpu into place is broken off, but is there another way to lock the cpu pins into the mobo? they are old, and i should just replace it, but i am dirt poor as of yesterday cuz of my rent n everything. any suggestions would be appreciated! (besides replacing it altogether)

post pics of how it looks.

with copper grease on the cpu and the cpu fan should keep it in place.
