Question DisplayPort bent connector ?

[maraxion]

So iv gotten a second hand 2060 super that displays red horizontal lines only on DisplayPort. So I took a peak inside the DisplayPort:

That can't be right? It seems one of the connectors (left one) is bent upwards? Any tips to get that down?
I'm sure I can run the card with the other connectors with no lines, but since it only has one HDMI and one DVI its a kinda lacking 2060 super edition in that aspect. Hoped to fix.

I'd be sending that back to the seller, you risk damaging it even more if you attempt to bend it back.

Don't have that option I'm afraid.

But the lines issues I'm having is only when using DP port. I'm guessing this is a likely culprit then? And if so then the card should be safe to use on other ports.

But there is no good way of fixing unless I get a guy to solder on a new dp connector? Hoped I could bend it somehow etc.

Yeah, it does sound like just the one DisplayPort is at fault, entirely feasible and would probably just require soldering on a new one.

Shine a bright light in there, you'll need to have good near sight. Check out how the other side looks and then try and work out whether it can be bent back. If you do decide to try and bend it back, use something wooden and do so with the card OUT of the system. It's worth looking and then taking from there.
