Ugh ... Without going into a long story, I've been having trouble getting the I/O shield to 'fit' correctly against the mobo in a new build. After taking the mobo in & out of the case at least 10 times during the process of trying to resolve the problem, I just noticed I scraped some of the paint off the bottom of the mobo right next to one of the mounting holes. I must have inadvertently 'scraped' the board over one of the metal standoffs.
Now the copper PCB is showing thru on the underside of the mobo. If I screw the board down onto the metal standoffs, will I short the board out when I power it up? Should I put some clear nail polish over the bare copper? Or would one of those salmon-pink colored spacers between the bottom of the mobo and the top of the standoff do the trick?
I really need to get this build done tonight, so any quick advice would be much appreciated.
