Hi all,
I have a MSI 1060 6GB OCV2 that I would love to bring back to life, windows did see it when i had it powered off (6 pin pulled out) but when I power it from start I get,

"Please power down and connect the pcie power cables"​

looking at the board there is no burn marks near the connector.

Anything I should be looking for?

Cheers

Bump

Does Windows behave the same whether the 6 pin is plugged in or not? If so, I would try another 6 pin connector. If that doesn't work, then I would consider that the connector on the card is bad. It doesn't need to be scorched or melted to be bad, a bad yank on the connector can be enough to splay the contacts open enough to prevent a good connection.
