I accidentally bent some pins on my Z390F gaming motherboard while trying to install a CPU. I took it to a local PC shop, but they told me they couldn't help me with the repair. I'm looking for advice on what to do next. Is there a fix, or should I just replace the motherboard?

If both you and the shop can't fix it, consider reaching out to the manufacturer to ask about repair costs. Just be aware that it might be more cost-effective to buy a new one.
It really depends on how badly the pins are bent. You might want to try fixing it yourself—there are some good tutorials on YouTube that can show you how to carefully straighten them out.
Is the motherboard worth anything in its current state?
