Hey guys, so funny story. Actually not because I am extremely ticked off right now lol. Okay so I built my computer and the mobo was faulty ok? perfectly understandable so I send it back get a replacement and then boom here's where the accident happens. I screwed in the wrong screw through the mobo into the standoff so Im like that isnt the right one when I was staring at the right screw beside me. Anyways while I was unscrewing the screw the screw driver slipped off and scraped off 2 tiny bridges on the mobo right next to it. Is there any way I could get a repair for a small fee or do I have to buy a whole new mobo?

Can you take a picture of the broken part and post it?

Depending on the motherboard, getting a new one may actually be cheaper (assuming it can actually be repaired) that trying to repair it. The repair would also void the warranty unless repaired by the motherboard manufacturer. Heck, you might explain this to them and they might help you out.

The piece was so small that I picked it up but I now cant find it anywhere. Im talking tiny tiny. Since it was embedded Im probably just going to go with buying a new one >.<
