I'm kinda building a PC, anyways the question I had was this, when I screwed the mobo in I used the wrong screws for the risers and then when I needed to take it out again the risers unscrewed instead. Underneath there are a few scrached from the risers as they tried pulling out, now is there actually tracers under that or just PCB? Cuz I can't imagine they'd but wiring under a screw point but still :L It's not the front of the mobo where the metal rings are that protect the board it's the other side, back. Any thoughts?

Though the most part the only thing that's usually around the screw points is earthing. I wouldn't suggest it's a real problem unless you've knocked off a diode or placed a deep scratch into the actual conductive strips hidden just below the coating on the boards.

Obviously you're best way of finding out if your damage is serious or cosmetic is to fix it up and boot up. Just remember to be wearing rubber soled shoes just incase ;)
