I took a knife to my laptop and cut several circuits on my laptop's

up, but I don't know where to start. What materials do I need, and how
would I go about fixing these circuits. I know exactly where I made my
cuts, and I was thinking I could take some copper wire or something and
lay it down, maybe solder it on? But, I don't know if this is the best
way. Thank you for your time and interest.
Chances are excellent from the little description you give that the board will
not be repairable by you or anyone else, regardless of skill level or equipment.
The reason is that the runs are not just on the surface. You have no doubt
nicked traces in other layers of the board. It doesn't take much! Can't be
repaired. Simple as that.
If you need this laptop to work again, your only hope is to find another of the
same model on Ebay with a bad hard drive or screen for very cheap, and swap out
the board.

I've replaced soldered-on components on a laptop motherboard before. It was kind of scary, but not all that hard to do. The hardest part was getting to the mobo.
There's no harm in trying to bridge the cut traces to fix it; if it doesn't work he can try to find another working system with a broken screen etc. to strip for parts. That's often cheaper than buying a new part, and he gets a spare keyboard and stuff out of the deal.
