Hi there,
I was fortunate enough to receive a 3080 today and went about upgrading my build. Fairly standard setup in terms of location of GPU, angle of the cables etc.
I tried to boot but got nothing. Booted from the HDMI port on my motherboard and everything worked fine.
It was at this point I realised the right hand side 8-pin cable was not seated correctly in the card. Upon closer inspection, two of the pins on the GPU port are bent/broken/seated further back inside the housing:

The GPU leds and fans were powering on but no signal is being sent. Is this a manufacturing issue? Would I be able to get this fixed at a repair shop or do I need to claim on warranty? Would I be able to tease them out with some tweezers or do I risk voiding my warranty?
Has anyone had this issue before?
Any help greatly appreciated!
