ok heres what happened i pulled off my x3 chip and did a little modding to my mobo added an audio out(headphone) jack went fine everything was great put my chip back in and it said that it wasn't enabled so i looked over my chip/ mobo found that 2 of the pins on the pin header went down to the metal sheilding and grounded ooooops fried a trace on the chip and i think a resistor or 2 i just need to know what they are so i can replace them if you could help at all i would greatly appreciate it thank you for all your help in advance

the 2 smaller circles are the pins that the trace is fried between the bigger circle are the resistors and there is a trace going to the chip that says actelno traces on the top side are fried only 1 on the bottom

Buy a new chip it will probably be a lot less hassle and cheaper, just remember to insulate it properly this time.
