DOES ANYBODY KNOW IF A AMD CPU IS FIXABLE?

Hello does anybody know if you can fix a amd cpu, i have bought a few
bad amd athlon cpu`s and was wondering if they can be fixed , i know
they are bad, i tried setting the correct setting in the bios and all
that, proper heatsink,proper fan, tried using them in my working
computer,msi 6380 etc, etc ,i see no signs of damage or burn`t
markings so i was just curious, i have about 6 of them total ranging
from 1600 to 2800. thanks any info would be much appreciated. take
care..

They mught look ok on the outside but have they been zapped.... by
static electricity..?

The only way to check is to test them in a working machine, bearing
mind you will have to reset the CPU clocking and FSB speeds on the
mobo for the CPU.

The only thing you can repair on a CPU which is actually a chip is a bent pin as they are usually sealed.... plus fact they don't use descreet components hence the word Integrated Circuit or IC for short.

Buying 2nd hand Chips and cards can be a gamble, it's a win or lose game, from experience a chip that's been zapped by static may well work (not just CPU's) for a short while but fail premeturely.

CPU's are NOT repairable.
