trying to save this.... but i cant find anything at hand that fits on the spaces. and needle is bad as you can do more harm
Fixed such a thing recently using a tape cutter knife.
Just carefully and getly wiggling and bending pins back into form using the thin blade.
Razorblade or a razor knife work very well for this.

A needle should work better than a cutter or a blade, with a cutter it's much more easier to suddenly apply too much force, a needle is giving you more control.
I agree with RaverX I repaired very similar problem but not as bad with a sewing needle
I wouldn't try to straighen them well, but just separate them enough to avoid contact.
forget about the needle, is too thick and can damage and break
i followed the Razorblade tip from tiido and it worked perfectly, i thought Razorblades were extint but i found one on my sister house.
, Razorblade are very thin and entered perfectly on the gaps.
this is the most fucked voodoo2 i had
look at the vga metal connector. full of brown rust. i tried to remove with sandpaper and vinegar for short time and there is still rust. i wonder if i can remove the metal shield and just use anotherone from a broken card . but the shield is kind of soldered in the holes
might be time for a bath
vga connectors are cheap, just replace it with a new one if you have a soldering iron.

no soldering, too much work
i ended up taking out the outside shield of one broken graphics card , and the male outside shield of a vga cable.
the original shield was full of rust, i wonder how so much rust ended up in there, even on the blue plastic was full of rust.
card now looks brand new
