This appears to be the 12VHPWR connector for your GPU. Could you tell me the exact model you're using? Also, please share a photo of the GPU inside the system so I can confirm the setup.

The opposite side is facing backward and it won’t budge, yet the GPU has cables connected and the Radeon brand lights up once the computer starts.

If the GPU uses the older 8- and 6-pin connectors, you don't have to connect this specific port (assuming it's the one you're referring to). It exists only as a backup in situations where another GPU requires it. Otherwise, your issue seems unrelated.

I meant to view the connector depicted in the first image, not the other side of the cable. That should give me everything I need to understand. If the GPU has connections attached, that’s fine. Most AMD/Radeon models don’t use the new power cable.

It doesn't work because the device isn't receiving the signal properly or there might be an issue with the connection.

Generally, it's better to use two separate power connectors rather than one with two connectors. However, most systems can still start and run smoothly with just two power connectors on a single cable—just a higher chance of instability. If you're seeing no issues at all, it's unlikely the problem lies there.

The TV has HDMI 1 and 2 ports, but neither was displaying anything on the screen.
