REPAIR/FIX card

just out of curiosity, have you tried the card, it does not look that bad as i cannot see any copper.
 
It's hard to see if you broke any links. If you did, maybe some type of conductive paint could restore it.
 
Actually it does look like some copper is showing on the two traces you scratched. At this rate you could try to RMA and see how lucky you are, or suck it up that the card is dead now and try to dab some solder on those traces.
 
It should be possible to fix those affected traces by scraping them clean to the copper and then apply solder to bridge the gap.
 
do you think I also can make a connection line with my HB/ 2B lead pencil? a while ago, I read somewhere that he made a connection on a MOBO with a HB 2b pencil. So i was thinking is this also possible? with this card?


like something here...
......

Looks like some traces you messed up look thick and they come right out the pcie, so you might be better with soldering them back.
