I accidently scraped my motherboard and bent the “solid capacitor” next to it the pin with the cap on top of it

Go to solution Solved by Needfuldoer,

We'd need a tighter, more in-focus shot of this area to diagnose anything over the Internet:

Check those traces very carefully to see if they're broken or shorted together. If you're lucky, you just took the solder mask (paint) off and can cover it back up with some kind of lacquer or enamel. (You can buy little bottles of solder resist, but drugstore nail polish is basically the same thing.)

Hard to tell from these pics. The tracks near the screw look ok. You've taken off some coating on them but if they're intact it is likely ok. The cap looks normal from the pics. Worst case it is replaceable if you can find someone with decent soldering kit.

I can't even see what's supposed to be bent. Just power it on and see if it works.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

That is one seriously mangled screw.
You drilled it or something?

Can't see the bent.
I do see some exposed copper though.

@kashesJust to add, these solder masks usually need to be hardened with UV-lamps. I can't imagine you'd want to use nail polish because it might contain solvents that will damage your board. I'm not sure, but that's my hypothesis.
