Try it, Maybe you cut some traces if that’s the case then rip motherboard….

I think this is supposed to be a circular hole.
I have some faith it’d still work though. Seems like all you damaged is the mask.

I don’t see scratch

Man, that sucks. Depends on how deep the scratch is.

Where is the scratch? Can you please circle it and repost the image?

You’re not screwed… Neither is the motherboard

It seems that you have a broken line or two.
If the board does not start, take a soldering iron, a bit of flux and try to solder together the tracks top right from the hole. Just spreading tin around should do the trick. Be wary of not connecting adjacent lines.

How the fuck did you manage that

Wtf were you even doing to elongate the hole?!

How are we to know plug it in and find out

Yikes. Thats wild how close those memory traces are to that mounting hole.
minefarmbuy
Scratched?

dawg what happened
Hottage
The fuck did you scratch it with, a blowtorch flame?

Looks like you might have messed up the traces for the ram. You’ll have to check for continuity.

When you install the mobo with an impact driver

Yup. You done fucked up A.A.Ron.

There are no lines so probably works

I see no scratch there

Send to me I’ll fix it free of charge.

Is it just me, or does it seem like OP used a case screw where a mobo screw should have been? The thread pattern would never create such damage unless 1. OP extremely over tightened(via electric screw driver or impact driver), or 2. They cross threaded the fastener and continued to apply torque.
Other than that, I honestly can’t see how this amount of damage is applied to a motherboard. I’m not trying to make OP feel bad, just giving an overview of the images and context. Merry Xmas and for those that don’t celebrate Xmas, Happy holidays!

Was it you that made the hole? The traces are routed around it so I would guess that wasn’t you, despite what others are saying

Bruh that’s a hole
varysbaldy
Is ‘scratched’ the new word for ‘hole’?

Scratched? With what? Did you use light saber?

Does it work?

I can see 2, possibly 3 obliterated traces, that thing is done
