Sadly, my computer was tipped on it's side during moving , and one of the PCIE x16 slots appears to have broken. It works when the computer is on it's side, but when standing upright it sends no signal to the monitor.
The clip at the end of the PCIE slot that is supposed to hold the graphics card in-place has popped off. I still have the clip, and it doesn't look broken. Is this something that a repair shop would be able to fix?
Additionally, is it dangerous for my graphics card to continue using it in the current state? Do I run the possibility of equipment failure? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I looked at a couple of other similar questions but they didn't address these specific topics.
Thanks!
