Forget about the BIOS for a second, try to bend the pins back into shape. You can do that by using a moveable light source, a thin blade and a mechanical pencil without the graphite.
I bent pins back into shape with a safety pin and a credit card (to straighten the row). Definitely use an ESD wristband and mat!
Sure, I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the suggestion!
