Graphics card fried by wet pin connector- is my connector also broken
Hello everyone!
In a freak drinking accident a couple drops of beer made their way into my case. Unfortunately, they landed right where my graphics card connects to the power supply, frying my card instantly. When I inspected the inside of my case, I saw that when I turned the computer on, smoke litteraly comes out of the graphics card and the computer turns out automatically (motherboard safeties I assume).
The computer turns on fine when I unplug the card, so the power supply itself isn't compromised, but I just bought a new card online and I don't want to destroy it on the first boot. Is there a way I could check if the pin connector for my card is broken also ?
Thank you !
Es esta una buena pregunta?

Thanks for your answer, arbaman !
But as i said, everything else worked fine after a day of drying and the removal of the G card.
I just want to know if there's a way for me to check if my connector will fry my new card as soon as I boot the computer...
I don't have any other graphics cards laying around to make tests. Is there an easy way to know ?
Thanks!
