I recently got a new 400GB hard drive in the mail and I accidentally scratched the PCB, the scratches are light and not noticeable from a distance. Will it still work?

It should be fine, if its light scratches then i doubt you have damaged any of the traces enough to stop them functioning

As long as they aren't cut or two are connected when they aren't supposed to be. A picture would help.
