Comment on What do I need to trouble shoot second hand desktop computer? And how?
Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks agoSorry, I hadn’t had it fully opened on the other side… it’s actually the graphics card that has a light. I got tricked when I was looking in from the other side.

That power connector is not supposed to hang loose in the air. Check the handbook for the mainboard to find out where it’s supposed to connect to.

Looking at the Asrock product page, there is only an additional 8-pin-connector at the top left, no 4-pin.

The 6-pin connector? That very much looks OK to me. I don’t see where it would go.
However there’s disconnected 2 pins on the graphics card.

That gpu looks like it only has 6 pins, not 8, so it could be fine.

It looks to me like that’s a 6+2 connector and they only needed the 6-pin so the +2 is just left dangling, which afaik is fine.

I saw 8 solder blobs, but I’m not sure if it’s actually an 8 pin anymore.

It’s plugged in. I believe those are extra for something else thar he ziptied to the graphics connection. Here are a couple images.

It's fine. The PCI-e is another one for a graphics card that requires more connectors to be attached.
