It looks to be on the power portion of the pcie lane.

You may be able to clean off the pcie connector and check for damage under the heatsync.

Heres a helpful page.

the damage was done to the pcie slot on the mobo or pcie power connector on the actual card?
i am assuming that the card may have shorted or the mobo it was plugged into was.

there isnt really a way to tell if it works or not until you plug it in a try it out. have you got a separate system to try this card in?
