Sup Forums I don't normally come here but I am need help
I was putting my new pc together with my cousin and once we got everything in it's place we turned it on and it worked.
Then we realized we forgot the wireless Internet card and went to put it in.
It didn't fit with the case so he turned it around, bent the metal, and put it in backwards.
When we went to turn on the pc again everything was on for a split second before the whole thing went dark. I can't turn it on anymore, and it doesn't seem to be getting anything from the power cable/outlet as my headset, which is plugged into the pc, is no longer being charged.
Please help me Sup Forums
Pic related is the wireless Internet card
Isaiah Reyes
Use the wifi cable instead.
Asher Torres
Does it work with the card removed?
Jaxon Wood
That it does not.
Aiden Taylor
Dead motherboard
Liam Brown
Fuuuuuuuck, is there anything I can do to save it or is it fucked? It's an MSI Krait
John King
You need to be over the age of 18 to visit this site.
Ayden Reyes
It's fucked because you guys were retarded Parts are not meant to be manhandled
Ryan Murphy
I don't know Sup Forums things I'm just trying to get this build working, spending over 1500 on this.
Ethan Anderson
Its not a Sup Forums thing to know you shouldn't stick something into a hole the wrong way around. Hence why you are probably mentally underage to be attempting such a feat. I'll make it clear for you, your cousin has once again, fucked you.

Robert Rodriguez
It is a requirement to have an iq of 60+ to build a pc.
Blake Bennett
>he turned it around, bent the metal, and put it in backwards
Parker Williams
just rma the board and claim it was defective
Carson Rivera
Your dumbass cousin broke shit, go but a prebuilt.
Adrian Ward
seconded. what does this even mean.
Adam Hill
Judging by the image he was too retarded to fit the card normally so he took the metal support that sticks into a slot in the case and bent it around so he could make the card do a 180° flip.
Ian Bailey
rip in piss
Tyler Brooks
not to pile on, but you and your cousin are dumbasses. some components might require force to seat properly, but none require you to fucking MODIFY THE COMPONENT ITSELF
Leo Butler
Post pictures of this bent metal thing you speak of
Blake Reyes
They've just watched too much LinuxShillTricks and the retardation rubbed off.
Christopher Stewart
You put the card in upsidedown in the motherboard? How do you even do that?
Nathan Martin
Sounds like he put it in a PCI slot, not a PCIe slot.
Aiden Jackson
The OP image does show it. That tab coming out at a right angle is supposed to be straight.
Wyatt Sanchez
>It didn't fit with the case so he turned it around, bent the metal, and put it in backwards. she's dead, jim they're not reversable
James Gutierrez
If its brand new try to contact customer support. Its a bitch move because you ruined it by putting the card in BACKWARDS but if you use your words correctly they'll send you a new one
Hunter Myers
considering it's a PCI card, you should hope he put it in a PCI slot
problem with modern PCI cards is that they are symmetrical the notch was originally just on one side, but during the switch from 5v to 3.3v, the notch was moved to the other side then later cards got support for both 5v or 3.3v, requiring both notches to fit in any slot
Juan Edwards
Nothing wrong with bending metal, iv smashed old small cases to get big gfx cards to fit but he put it in backwards... Which is full on retarded
Sebastian Wright
OP if you're lucky you only killed the motherboard. You can try to return it under warranty and claim it was defective. Worst case you also fried the CPU and possibly the power supply as well by shorting it out.
Ethan Robinson
he did this
Jayden White
I'm really sorry to hear this OP I've had new toys broken on Christmas too
Ryder Miller
Sup Forums is 18+, also I hope it blew out your jewshit processor
Jace King
how would you ever think that's a good idea?
Jaxon Martinez
I was thinking it was more like this.
Liam Brown
that would work, unless the reason the expansion slot bracket didn't fit because he inserted the card into a PCI-E slot instead of a PCI slot, which has a different offset (deliberately to avoid this from accidentally happening)
Austin Roberts
but that shouldn't really mess anything up if it actually fits in the slot properly
Benjamin Reed
Oops yeah that's true.
Nolan Morgan
>look up "msi krait" >some of them don't even have a PCI slot oh shit, op's cuz might have actually tried to fit it into a PCI-E slot
Luke Lopez
You don't get to bitch when companies fuck you over.
Jaxson Moore
>problem with modern PCI cards is that they are symmetrical The connector might be, but not the card. You can only mash it in the wrong side by putting the bracket towards the front of the case, and noone, not even OP, would be stupid enough to do that.
Noah Long
i understand that, my point is just that it can be inserted backwards without modifying the slot itself, and being symmetrical might give the impression of reversibility still, the bracket not fitting or lining up with the back of the case should have been enough of a warning that that's not what's supposed to be done
Zachary Richardson
>It didn't fit with the case so he turned it around, bent the metal, and put it in backwards. Just out of curiosity, did he do this while you were looking away, or with your approval?
Also please verify whether this was the case.
Jason Adams
Is that actually even possible? Even if you bent the bracket, wouldn't the key for a PCIE connector prevent you from putting the card into the slot?
Jonathan Carter
>he turned it around, bent the metal, and put it in backwards
Levi Green
Please post a picture of the connector you tried to put it into, and how you put it in it.
Sebastian Ramirez
op's picture shows that it's a PCI card the back isn't visible, so it's not clear if it's a dual-voltage card, but it mostly likely is the large section of a pci-e 16x slot is long enough to physically insert a pci card into, though all it'll do it short out a bunch of pins
Lucas Morris
To the retard, it looks like it would be able to work
OP was secondhand retard by allowing retard #1 to bend metal and let him stick it in his $1500 computer
Easton Martin
Meh. Ive done this a hundred times on my wifi cards, when the case does not fit. It's just a piece of tin. Op probably rekt a slot or something
Oliver Gonzalez
>the large section of a pci-e 16x slot is long enough to physically insert a pci card into I just tried this, and it isn't.
Josiah Miller
Whenever would the case not fit? I've never had this problem, and not for lack of assembling enough computers or using cheap cases.
Hudson Thomas
looked like it might from searching for images for comparison if not, then i guess he must have put it into a PCI slot backwards
Josiah Jenkins
>It didn't fit with the case so he turned it around, bent the metal, and put it in backwards.
Luis Brooks
But noone could be that retarded. If anything, it might be possible if the motherboard had an open-ended PCIE connector.
Tyler Rodriguez
It's been known to happen
Cameron Nguyen
You're fucked. Contact the manufacturer and tell them it was DOA. Don't tell them you fucked with it.
Andrew Thompson
To be fair to him, he was just trolled good and proper by his "friend".
Ethan Cooper
It were some chink cases, and the card was a bit beefy. Still works till this day.
Easton Powell
>Still works till this day. I don't really doubt that it works, I just strongly suspect that you're simply not putting it in right. I have had cheap cases where you need to wiggle the card just right to make the tab on the bracket line up with the poorly designed slot in the case, but I've never had one where it truly doesn't fit.
Nathan Hall
that does actually work if you insert it into an 8x, 4x, or 1x pci-e slot but judging from the additional small notch, that card was inserted into a pci slot, not a pci-e slot
Joseph Williams
I can't believe people suggest this without batting an eye. It's no wonder companies have to treat their customers like shit when they get treated like shit back.
Hudson Sullivan
I know, but if you weren't trolling, you wouldn't say that it's supposed to "cut on the dotted line". Also that card most likely isn't PCIE, but AGP.
Henry Johnson
it's not AGP AGP pins are staggered, not straight, and they have notches in different positions
Brayden Butler
merry xmas OP dont worry. dont lie. just start the RMA process for everything now you won't know what all you've fucked up until you get new shit. may have killed the motherboard. may have killed the CPU. may have killed the PSU. may have killed the GPU. one thing is for sure. you bought the wifi card but those are cheap.
request RMA with the title of DOA. do not try to explain anything. just DOA.
James Cooper
>AGP pins are staggered I know, but it's hard to tell from the picture if the contacts are staggered or not. It's difficult to believe it's PCIE since it lacks the tab to the left of the connector. I guess the idiot could have removed it, but there are no visible traces of it at all. It also doesn't seem like it could have the holding tab that's normally on the right of a 16x PCIE connector.
Nicholas Edwards
you can see a bit of blank pcb where the tab used to be as further proof, AGP never had SLI, and that card has an SLI connector on it
Jackson Morgan
>you can see a bit of blank pcb where the tab used to be Hmmm, I guess. Nevertheless, I don't think his friend would've said to cut along the dotted line unless he were gunning for it to fail.
Noah Martin
it's a dangerous thing to suggest, i agree
Ayden Cook
It's also possible he bought a PCI card that had the wrong voltage slot, but I thought this hasn't been a problem since 1999
Cooper Morales
i seriously doubt there's any new pci slots or cards that are not universal
Ryan Campbell
This. Its most likely the motherboard, so start with that, but if you go with the dead on arrival spin they should replace it for you no problem.
Adam Price
I feel nothing. I am now dead inside.
Carson Mitchell
this is why you should buy anything tech related on amazon I have only had to do it twice but if shit dies they let you send the old one back sometimes the replacement arrives before you even send the broken thing
Jace Nelson
> It didn't fit with the case so he turned it around, bent the metal, and put it in backwards. My condolences.
Hudson Sanchez
Lol future /diy/
Elijah Jackson
Gr8 B8 OP!
No one is that stupid.
Luis Anderson
I don't believe someone this stupid could figure out how to post here.
Dominic Cruz
So you gather brand new parts to build a new PC yet for some reason you try to install a PCI card from 2005 on it. You manage to put everything together and having it work except for the forementioned piece of conveniently obsolete technology. You claim to have accomplished the impossible feat of inserting it into the motherboard's slot despite the fact they're designed with notches to prevent specifically this sort of thing unless you drill them out. After seeing that the card does not work, you decide the best course of action is to achieve the equally impossible feat of inserting it backwards just by bending a piece of the metal brace. You take a picture of just the old damaged junk and make a droll Sup Forums thread.
Sebastian Jackson
OP here. Just gonna say the mobo is good and the pc is fine.
Jeremiah Kelly
no
Austin Gray
why would you even need to bend it when it very clearly has screws on it
Aaron Foster
>spending over 1500 on this >bend shit and put it in backwards if it doesn't fit I wonder if people this retarded truly exist.
Landon Brooks
is 1500 supposed to be alot? i guess nig life drastically changes perspectives.
Ethan Allen
>open endes pcie buddy thats not a thing and never has been.
Anthony Hughes
It is if you are underage and no fortunate son.
Ian Gutierrez
That guy probably wanted to fit his card (pci-e) into an AGP slot. Cutting off pci-e works actually. I removed the pins from a G210 to make it fit into a x1 slot.
Jacob Nguyen
>he
F
Isaac Robinson
Yes it is. I've seen several boards with slots as in pic related.
Easton Jenkins
It's not exactly a fun amount to flush down the toilet.
