Received brand-new HP with damaged DMS-59 Connector on video card

[brianbuys]

Has anyone else received systems with damaged DMS-59 Ports?

We ordered a few custom HP Compaq 8200 Elite systems (QX034US) that included the NVIDIA NVS 300 PCIe x16 video card (BV090AV). This video card has a single DMS-59 port but a large percentage of the systems we received had damaged ports as shown below: (images of two separate systems)

and

Port's pin evidently still work however and we can get a signal and everything works fine but wanted to see if others had this problem as this should never happen coming directly from HP.
Thx!

Wow, horrible QC.

The question that I have, is were those ports damaged on the cards, before the cards were ever put into the computers, presumably tested, and shipped?

Hmm. Send those pictures to HP ASAP. That really is terrible, even if they work, HP has to send someone out to replace the cards. Don't compromise.
