Graphics card power but no output

[Aphotic]

I plugged two 8pin connectors into my zotac 970 amp omega and after turning the pc on, I smelled burnt Plastic... I had previously had the 970 running fine with an 8 pin and a 6 to 8pin, but I wanted to support two full 8pin connections before I attempted to OC.

The card still powers up as far as I can tell in the configuration I used previously. All the leds and the fan turn on. Still, the card won't output video now. I took a picture of what I believe to be the affected connection that blew. Should I try to fix this myself (have access to am electronics lab at college) or is there any way this would be under warranty (card is 1 week old)?

Thank you!

Looks like you popped a trace, not to sure about Zotac RMA's... I would say on a card that new you should try to go through the vendor for a replacement card.

Swap with the retailer-etailer. I would only go through RMA with a company when I'm outside the exchange period at the store. Hopefully they have some in stock.
