Question Used graphics card showed up with slight damage. Will it still work?

[Warder52]

I bought this off of Ebay and it looks like it got dropped on the corner during shipping. I'm pretty disappointed it wasn't shipped in a box. It was bubble-wrapped and placed inside a bubble mailer, but the two ends weren't covered very well. I haven't plugged it in yet as it needs a thorough cleaning due to cigarette smoke and tar buildup. What are the chances this damage has affected whether the card works or not?

I see a bunch of etching in that area which has me concerned.

I think chances are....being I think I see at least 2 broken traces....that it's crapshoot whether it will work.

Edit: after looking at it more...I think it might be possible to connect the traces...if you are good at that sort of thing.

I might try to claim a refund before I messed with it though.
