I doubt anyone will really every be able to offer anything constructive, but....
I was getting my "new"A7V600 up and running - I should have known itw as an omen when the CPU cooler fell off the shelf onto the floor
I got it installed, everything worked. Then I noticed the cooler was bent a bit. No problem - just pull it off and fix. BIG MISTAKE. On trying to remove it, the scredriver slipped out and across the MB 🙁
I know there were some "shavings" at the time - but looked at that thing close-up under my 30-LED worklight, even took it outside under sunlight. I cannot find a scrape on the board, no missing parts. Nothing.
The board still works. It acts a little funny when I try to access the hardware monitor from BIOS (takes a second to load) - but that may be normal. I do not know. I was able to install Windows. Everything seems to work. But where did those "shavings" come from?????
