    A Nvidia GeForce MX 4000 pci-e BFG TECH

    I put a jumper on the fan power supply and I think it burned one of the teeth and since then my computer won't recognize it and I can't use it as my display device. If there is a way to fix this without sending it in for a replacement I would really like to know. The touth on the bottom far right is a sark silver color

    by saying "Teeth" do you mean the contacts (where the graphics card connects to the mobo)

    don't worry over it i have also invented my own langguage, you may be able to bod-j it by glueing tin foil or something on it, lol, but beyond that, you have a very pretty paperweight there

    upon checking the ohms of the chip I found out the thing is still conduction across the burn
    Maybe it's really a problem with the computer Compaq presario S4020wm basically everything is factory the video card is the only real enhnacement

    I don't know why it isn't working help would be greatly appreciated and I can describe what happened in detail if needed

    i don't know but maybe the problem is with the socket not your card, can you get hold of some spray air to blow dust off everything
