1 inch slight scratch on MoBo, will it cause problem?

yokihrio · Feb 18, 2014

i was turning a screw on my MoBo's back plate (for cpu cooler)
then my hand slid and this screwdriver made an almost one inch not so deep scratch
its working but i donno if its gonna make any hidden problem,
my question is, how sensitive or important is the back of the mother board?
and if u want to detail how deep is the scratch
well the MoBo's back is green , its a short white line, one and half inch

Without either testing it or using a microscope, it's hard to tell if the traces are damaged. Depending on the design of the motherboard, you may have killed it.

well umm there are black lines on this green platform if u call that, i hope they're not really wires coz the white line i made there just crossed one of this black lines and kinda cut the line,

what if its working fine from what i'm seeing, im afraid of future problems or hidden ones, and also the RMA doesn't accept user damaged cases

The traces are most certainly data/power paths(like a wire). You will only know if you damaged it when you run the system.

im afraid if i turn it on and use it some of its components get damaged or even it damages my cpu or graphic card,

If damage is done to the board it is already not going to work right.

Most likely it would just not work or be unstable.

Cutting a trace should not cause damage to parts, just the board it self(hell blowing traces was an old way to modify cpus back in the K7(AMD) days).

I want to see it still if you can post an image.
