Damaged GPU pins

I was being careless while pulling my 5700xt out of a riser and am pretty confident I damaged the pins. Fans spin but card doesn’t post. I went through all the steps and have 3 other systems to test. The card is the problem in every one. 
 

Any reliable third party repair services? I voided the warranty. If not, I guess I am stuck selling for parts unless there is a way to fix them.

i don’t see any visible damage but am almost 100 percent sure it is the card

What pin did you damage? Are you able to post a picture? There aren't really any pins to damage, unless you mean the traces that go into the PCIE slot.

I'm not actually trying to be as grumpy as it seems.

I will find your mentions of Ikea or Gnome and I will /s post.

This is likely what I mean. Wasn’t sure what that was called. I don’t see any visible damage but I am running out of options for what the damage could be. The card hasn’t sat right in some PCIE slots for awhile but has always worked in my riser and bottom slot. That stopped today though. Will post a picture in a second

Is the riser PCIe 4.0 ready? That will be a problem on PCIe 4.0 capable platforms.

 

The connector itself looks ok. It can work with tip of the contact missing.

The riser is. I also tried it within each of the slots within each mobo. Afraid I shorted it or damaged something I don’t have the capability to fix

i see, was suspecting pcie 4.0 being the problem, especially on risers

 

well if the GPU is the problem in every one of those system then you might need to look for physical damages

 

PCIE pins dont get damaged easily and the missing tip on some pins is actually a feature, as those pins should be the last to make contact when hotswapping PCIE devices, from what i read

Well. Think I figured it out. I have two power supplies for my mining rig and my sleep deprived ass accidentally had  one powering the riser, while the other PSU was powering the card.  Not sure what that would do exactly but can’t be good and likely explains the not posting and fans still spinning. Fuck

running multiple PSU is common though

Yes but you only want one powering each GPU. Apparently when both are plugged into it, it can create problems. I was swapping cards this morning and didn’t realize

Neither am I. Looks like I have some research to do. Thank you though
