I'm concerned about this situation. The screw didn't come out easily, and you're seeing marks near the hole. It's possible you may have damaged the motherboard, so it's best to check carefully or seek professional help.

It looks quite unclear, but I can't confirm if it's a scratch without more details.

The grayed areas near the screw suggest it may have damaged the surface coating.

The solder marks near the hole are irrelevant because they’ll only connect to ground if something touches them. I think the white line is a thread, not a scratch. If it’s a scratch, you might have a problem since it goes directly over the traces.

The message indicates the line was merely dust, resolving certain concerns.

They are merely solder marks used to connect the motherboard to the case, having no effect on its functionality. I’ve applied the same method to a jammed standoff, and everything is working properly! Don’t worry—this suggests no harm was done.

No problem. I believed it seemed a bit unusual at first.
