ok

i am trying to desolder the atx power connector off the pdu as i've damaged it and when i looked at the atx plug i saw this


there's a small ring of copper or something around the pin.
i'm afraid it's the copper inside the mounting holes itself


does it mean it's totally gone case or i can continue?

based on the pinout and position of the pin, i guess it's the +3.3v pin.

Looks like you yanked off some of the copper track or maybe even part of a via from the PCB. The PDU is simple so unless there is a short I think it could be repaired with bits of copper wire. You probably should ask someone else to do it, though.

Should be repairable.  Just bridge the gap with solder, or some solid 14-ga Cu wire if needed.

Next time, don't use so much force when removing a soldered component.
