Try the mechanical pencil trick. VERY GENTLY. I've also used a credit card or something to line the pins up too. I would only do this if EVGA is not going to help. If you don't feel comfortable get somebody at a reputable local shop to give you a hand.

1) Don't start a 2nd thread, its pointless
2) As everyone's said, just send it back and get a new one.
