Hey there. I checked the console and found a small black spot on the motherboard near the south bridge, GPU, and HANA chip. There are tiny scratches along that area, but everything seems to be working normally. Since nothing is broken and it’s running smoothly, you can probably just ignore it. What do you think about the chances of it getting worse?

It doesn't seem like a burn. It looks like leftover grease and residue from dragging something across the PCB during assembly. Personally, I don’t think it’s worth worrying about.

If performance isn't an issue, it's fine to disregard it.

You might also consider using IPA for cleaning, or a perfume if you can't find it.
