[SOLVED] Am I screwed? *pun intended* Hit my MOBO with Philips head screwdriver. *pic included*

Trying to remove my graphics card. There appears to be damage. I am freaking out a bit. MOBO: ASUS ROG STRIX x570.

I think probably ... hitting the motherboard is not that bad, but you hit one of the components and it looks like half is missing ... kinda looks like a resistor. Best case: it works just fine. Medium case: the main PCIe x16 slot is dead. Worst case: it's dead.

Thank you for the reply. I bought it on Amazon and I have coverage for it, but apparently this isn’t “covered”. I might just skip the bs and buy a MSI - MPG x570

Are you gonna try the motherboard and see if it works?

Is there a chance I fry anything?

There is always a chance, but the resistor is way down by the PCIe slots ... probably has nothing to do with RAM or CPU. GPU ... that's more likely. Guess it's easy for me to say "give it a shot" cuz it's not my stuff. I can totally understand if you want to play it safe.

I have a 2080 Super showing up tomorrow from Best Buy and they will return anything so I’ll pop that in tomorrow. Thank you for all your input.

On second thought ... don't test it. I had a long day and had a couple beers. My judgement is probably not what it should be.

Why wouldn't you just boot it up with onboard graphics to see if the motherboard is actually dead first?
