I was taking off the heatsink to my Linux box, the damn clip was stiff and there was very little room to work with. Next thing you know my screwdriver slipped while I was putting a lot of force behind it causing the screwdrive to plunge into my motherboard taking one of the ICs between the ZIF and memory DIMM clean off...

I had saved about $400 for a new graphics card, but that had to go into replacing both my motherboard and CPU (which had it's die crushed when getting the damn clip off...).

You can see the CPU in my desktop pic... but just to point it out:
