Missing metal cover on tuner chip

[willyp]

Hi,
I have received my 6983 card from buydvb and it's missing the metal cover over the tuner chip.
On every photo I've seen online they were on.
Is it just mine?
It's V20

Thank you for the answer.
That's OK then.
But is it safe for the hard drive?

Do I always need to have power plug connected or is it only for motor dishes? (I use diseqc)
I haven't got such connector on my PSU and the adaptor is for an old molex. I would have to get an adaptor from SATA type connector.

After installing the newest driver for Windoes 8.1 the Device Manager shows only one device "TBS6983 Dual DVBS/S2 BDA Tuners". Is that alright?
