Are you good at soldering, if so a fix is possible.

no check your warrenty, nothing u can do about it.

superninja12 :

I agree that a return under warranty is the best option but if the board cannot be returned he either tires to fix it or trashes it.
I've fixed a lot worse than what his picture shows. Whether he can fix it or not depends on his skill set. He asked if a fix is possible and yes a fix is possible.

I bought it used, i will make a dispute and try to get a refund from shipping company tomorrow, but anyway I would like to try and fix it, put it all back together, has anyone had any experience with this problem? How should i proceed?
Metal wires are bent underneath tho, and plastic is still holding firmly, how do i remove it nicely it so i can attempt to straith up bent pins?

only if youre an it professional you can fix this

You would need to remove the slot, straighten the pins and reinstall the slot and solder it back onto the board, it is not a job for a beginner.
If you do not have the experience I would ask a friend to give it a shot. You may find a local electronics shop that could do the job but I have no idea what it would cost.

It would probably cost the +price of another used motherboard at least

After i file complain i will try to fix it and report my findings.
If someone finds useful tutorial i would be grateful, i'm looking for such but to no avail

Mission impossible

No way to align all those pins and put plastic back on it

I will hack pcie 1x slot ant put my gpu there, but probably wont be able to play good games

I wish you lived down the street from me, I'd fix the board for you. I hate to see someone get stuck with no real options.
Do you live in Michigan, if so there may be a chance.

Thanks for good will bro, but i'm on another continent

And postal services denied my claim, they said i should have complained the very moment i recieved a package from delivery guy (than they would just blame the guy who sent me it as i wouldn't pay the package) But shipping guys damaged it i'm 100% sure according to evident damage.

Failed project, thanks shipping company (HP EXPRESS in croatia)

I sure wish you lived nearby, I'd fix it free of charge, I love to do stuff like that.
I hope you have a better experience with your next project.
Build on bro, build on.
