I have been using a pair of needlenose pliers to tighten the motherboard standoffs in my case, and I noticed a few times that the teeth of the pliers would scrape off these miniscule particles of metal from the standoffs (or if they accidentally scratched the inside of the case). I tried to wipe up these little bits as I saw them, and I have never had any short circuit because of them, but do you think these would pose a risk to the computer?
I have seen these types of tiny metal particles inside cases before--I think they occur during metalwork of the case, or when the screw holes are drilled out, etc, but I never thought if they would pose a big risk to short circuits before. What do you guys think?
