help with 7800gtx

[Loudboy]

i bought one of these and tried putting in my dell dimension 2350. my friend said that the shiny metal part on the bottom looks like it has lines because you can cut at the lines if it doesnt fit. so i carefully cut off the bottom so that it fit into 1 of the slot things in my computer. now it doesnt work. did i cut it wrong?


heres a picture so you can help me out

God I hope you're kidding. John is talking about the rear edge connector (the one on the right that looks like the two on the left only it is cut off). John, I don't know how to say this without sounding cruel. Throw it away.

I feel really bad that this has happened to you. Sometimes we think we are sure we're doing the right thing and make huge mistakes regardless. It's a tough way to learn an expensive lesson. Always check with the techies in here before you do something like that in the future.
