Rguys this afternoon I mounted my 1060 in another pc but it does not turn on anyway, so I put my old gtx 770 in the second slot and it goes perfectly, so I do not understand what the problem is, what is certain is that the dark blue slot and the video card is broken, I opened the 1060 to see if inside it had something abnormal and I found this, Could something have burned?

Looks cooked to me.....

The card may have taken out the PCI-E slot on the board, that's why the testing card works in slot 2 and not slot one.

That's how you kill 2 birds with 1 stone!

off topic, does a flat CR2032 battery cause something these newer UEFI boards will not POST. IMO, those CR2032 last about 2-3 years and begin weakening.

Only stores BIOS-settings, nothing else affected.

Replace the FET and there's a chance it would work. Or take it somewhere to get it changed, cheap. IDK if it works even without that broken one? :D Just solder it off and try.

In some other cases when it burns deeper, it shorts PCB layers. Parts from a donor or ask some local shop for that part in the photo with identical alignment, other fets are different. Possible to replace with equivalent from another manufacturer, I think.

edit: could be similar price with repair as just getting a new 1060 :laugh:

Likely the card could be fixed, but if it has taken out the PCi-e slot on the motherboard? Ah well, the other slot should be good enough.
Had a brief look on the pricing range of 2nd hand 1060, the range is very wide.

Yep, you have blown mosfet on one of the power rials which is pulling one of the supply rails to ground (Shorting). Look at the 1060's card edge that plugs into the slot and see if any of the fingers are damaged or dark in color. I would look at the slot connector as well to see if there are any broken pins. If both look good, I would have to bet that either the mother board or the CPU got damaged when the rail shorted. Your second PCIE 16 slot is only runs in 4x mode too boot, so an upgrade might be in order in the future if you can not get the first PCIE slot working.

That picture clearly shows that the GPU has died. Fixable damage if the only thing faulty is that MOSFET. Weird for a 120W GPU to blow the power components of it.
