Bent Pins on wireless-AC

Lord Ruffy · Sep 3, 2014

What do? I was wondering how I would be able to fit it in the gap that I had left for myself on the motherboard, when I saw that some of the golden pins are bent? Is this normal? What do I do?

It's the MSI Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260. I got it with my MSI 797 Gaming 9 AC Mobo

No, pins should not be bent. But that card does not have pins in the traditional sense such as for a VGA adapter or for a CPU slot. That confuses me.

The card has connectors at the bottom edge - are they somehow warped? Can you post a picture or be more descriptive?

A clear picture would help in diagnosing this.

This is what I'm talking about.

This is the underneath with the bent pins. Noticed that one of them is actually missing.

This is my motherboard. The middle bit is where it must be slotted.

Sorry if the pictures aren't clear enough. The camera on my phone can be a bit funny sometimes

Doesn't look right, but fire off an email to MSI with the photo with bent pins.

I've messaged them, am now waiting for a reply. Thanks for the help anyway, guys
