Hello,
I managed to pop the plastic "feet" on the molex connector on a new AGP card out of their holes as I was attempting to connect the 4pin power cable. Any tips on how to get them back in the holes would be greatly appreciated. The pins appear to be okay (though they must be bent slightly) but the connector is now at a 30 degree angle and the back feet (pegs) are now about 3 mm from their holes and the front feet (w/clips) are 5 mm above the board.
Is there any way to reset the connector and save the card? I feel like an idiot as this is my father in law's old computer and i suggested the upgrade and the specific card so he could turn it into an HTPC.
Thanks for your help.
