Think I made a newb mistake and touched the upper right corner of my motherboard by the screw. There's two tiny copper dots at the end of the two highest tracks coming to a dead end near the screw. The tracks come to a end at a tiny circle and now the copper in the circle is exposed for two tracks that end next to each other. I put a little piece of electrical tap over the two pin head dots. Everything seems okay. But I worry about it causing problems. What do you all think?
 
Solution
If its up and running you didnt harm anything.
Damage is only done when physical damage is present (breaking), Thermal damage (Overheating), or discharge.

Yea it was on, I remember doing it now. I touched just the top right corner. Everythings seems okay I did it a couple days ago. I put black electric tap over the two dots but one seems a little deep. I took the board out and inspected the back and it looks okay.

Hopefully just made me nervous. The electric tap adheres really good to the board. Just have no idea what the tracks where for. I was thinking they might be grounding tracks since they end near the screw but have no idea. Don't think there damage too bad but have no idea what that liitle circle at the end of a track does.
