So I was just trying to remove a SATA cable form the motherboard, and it was not coming out. So I gave up and just left it in there, (the SATA cable wasn't connected to anything).

And now it won't turn on. I believe I cracked some tracers and I wanted to know if anyone knew anyway to fix something line this or is anyone had some suggestions as to another treason why it isn't turning on.

Thanks.

And yes the power supply is on and plugged in.

you can. use a multimeter to test continuity, if it's broken, get a lenline brush, scrap the top of the board to remove the lamination and expose the copper on either side of the break. small break, make a solder bridge, long bridge, use some 32+awg wire. Hot glue the wire in place so it doesn't rip up more traces.

Can be done, just how good you are with soldering and if you can determine for sure that it's a broken trace.
