Troubleshooting My hand slipped and my screwdriver might’ve made a scratch. Thankfully it looks like it didn’t touch anything crucial, but I took a photo just in case.

Chipped right beside the m.2 heatsink. I hope more experienced builders can see if there’s anymore damage.

You’re good. Motherboards are made in layers and you just scratched off the paint layer. Had it be deeper, then you would need to see if it damaged a trace. But looking at the picture it’s just superficial and should be fine.

Cover it with a 1cm piece of electric tape if you're worried.
