Hi,
I accidently dented one of my resister on this board while I was putting it into an old case..and I'm worried that the resister I dented will stop my motherboard from functioning properly...its not a big dent but its cleary visible..I can't test this mb cuz I'm since in the process of getting everything together to build this system. Anyone had a similar accident and turned out ok?
 
Is this a real dent or a chip. If it is a chip, the resistor may still be okay. Also it could be a resistor for some function of the mobo that you aren't using. I would proceed and see if it works all right.

If it is a crack the resistor is probably open electrically and may affect a function of the mobo. I would still go ahead and see if mobo functioms properly.

Just my 2cents.

PS. Just realized there is not a "cent" symbol on standard keyboard.

 
after looking at the motherboard for awhile i realise that its not an resister its a small capacitor...does this make the situtuation worse?
