Question 3090 not displaying image

[Novacore676]

Hello everyone.

due to some unfortunate circumstances, my 3090 was ripped out of the pcie lane and its not showing a display and i think one of the pcie connector pins has been chipped off. i will add a picture of 2 chipped pins, however, i think one of them was always like that on the smaller end of the lane, but on the longer end, second to last pin appears to be chipped.

some of the troubleshooting i did is below:

The first time i tried to turn the computer on, everything came on, the GPU fan/light, displayed an image, everything. Next day, turned it back on, no display, no gpu light.

- Tried both pcie lane slots on the mobo, no display

- tried two different monitors and two different video cords, no display.

- took out the 3090 and tried to get a display from the motherboard directly (13600k processor) no display weirdly enough.

- after work, came back and put a 1080ti in this same computer, i get a display and i can play games fine so far.

- tried putting the 3090 back in it after that, in both slots, still no image, still no light on the GPU but the fan is moving.

i am thinking its safe to say that the GPU is probably the issue but i want some other thoughts. If it is the GPU, do you think this is fixable?

adding the screenshot as well.

Both those strips are fine with the notch missing It's a nvidia thing As far as your card not booting that's something else.

hey there, thanks for the reply. i've been busy all week and finally had time to mess with it again.

i have two other computer systems that i put the 3090 in and on my 9900k system, it turned onfor a few minutes with display and gpu light, but then i saw artifacting green squares and then it turned off the gpu light and display.

i then put the card in my 13900k system and it wouldnt display anything until i tested positioning the card a little bit differently in the pcie slot until the light on the gpu came on and so did the display. the display booted to windows desktop and was working momentarily but then the gpu light went off and so did the display.

i tried replicating that on the 9900k a bit and i cant really find a way to get the gpu light to show back up on the 9900k system anymore, even in different pcie lanes and with adjusting positioning.

im wondering if the pcie teeth on the gpu in my second picture is the reason its not reading and that if positioned right, it sometimes makes contact but eventually losses connection?

i wonder if that could be fixed.

any thoughts?
