Adjusting the Use of a Chip/Socket Having a Damaged Pin

摘要

An electronic system comprises: a pin sensor; and an integrated management module, wherein the integrated management module: identifies a location of a damaged connector between a semiconductor chip and a hardware socket, wherein the location of the damaged connector is described by one or more readings from the pin sensor, and wherein the damaged connector prevents a particular signal from being supplied to the semiconductor chip via the hardware socket; identifies the particular signal as an input for a particular semiconductor function; determines whether the semiconductor chip provides the particular semiconductor function; and adjusts a use of the semiconductor chip based on whether or not the semiconductor chip uses the particular signal to provide the particular semiconductor function.
