Led VGA lit

Hello, I am encountering a problem with this VGA LED since I plugged in an old graphics card (Nvidia GeForce 210) to see if it was working well for a small setup, now my usual GPU (RX6600) is not working anymore on my PC. I have already unplugged and re-plugged the PCI-e connector and the power pins, but nothing works; the VGA LED remains on and there is no signal on my screens. When I plug in the 210, it works and the VGA LED turns off and I get a display. Just to be sure, I uninstalled all the graphics drivers for the Nvidia GeForce 210 and the RX6600, but the problem is still there with the RX6600. Should I conclude that it is dead?
My config just in case:
Motherboard: B550 Tomahawk
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600X
GPU: XFX AMD Radeon 6600
RAM: 32GB DDR4 3200MHz
1 NVMe M.2 SSD 1TB
2 SATA SSDs 1TB
1 HDD 700GB
1 external HDD 2TB
Windows 10 Pro
I think I have covered all aspects of my problem; I will try to find other solutions before buying another GPU. I do not have another desktop PC to test my RX6600.

Hello
You shouldn't hesitate to press down hard on the graphics card to make sure it's properly seated in the slot.

Waiting for more responses; I'm attracting trolls...
Hello,
You might need to perform a Clear CMOS if DDU doesn't help directly.
(If you don't even have the BIOS display, or even Windows?).
1. Unplug the power supply
2. Remove the CR2032 battery
3. Check if you have a jumper on pins labeled CLR_CMOS or CLRTC
If you do, move it for at least 10 seconds
If you don't, short the two pins with a screwdriver for at least 10 seconds
4. Put the jumper back to where it was, or stop shorting
5. Replace the battery
6. Plug the power supply back in
7. Start the PC
Hi, so I don't have the CLR_CMOS or CLRTC pins. I know I need to put a screwdriver on the JBAT1, which is located right next to the battery on the B550 Tomahawk. The power connector for me is: JFP1.
So after following the whole procedure, I have a display with a filled terminal; I didn't have time to take a picture, it went too fast. Since then, the problem is resolved.
I didn't think that Clear CMOS would work for the VGA problem; I've already had to do the manipulation when I was overclocking my RAM poorly/toomuch.
Thanks, it saves me from investing in new hardware.
I tried again but without success, I'm going to check on a friend's setup and hope not to break his PC...
Or I have another motherboard with an i7 4770, I don't know if that would work.
It's indeed the next step, testing the graphics card on another PC, and if it doesn't work... not good for it.
So the RX6600 works on my old setup, so the problem would be the motherboard? I can't even use the warranty, it's past 3 months...
I believe you noted that your GeForce 210 is working, so it's not the motherboard.
We're back to my initial thought: the card isn't seated properly. This is common with larger cards; even a slight tilt in the slot of 1mm is enough to block its operation. Either you're not inserting the power cable of the graphics card properly, or the power supply is the issue.
Good question, it's a 2 fan card the model: XFX RX6600 speedster series swft 210
yet until today I already unplugged the RX and I didn't have the problem the day before yesterday. I'm trying a driver uninstallation with DDU then I'll try to put the RX back in
I'll see and I hope it's just the power connector that is poorly plugged in, I changed the power supply 3 months ago under warranty because the old one had given up the ghost
