DDT Techies, what type of adhesive/tape is used inside laptops to stick down small flat cables? What is it called?
I've always only used normal double sided tape from Kmart or whatever
Idk if that's the recommended method or not though
The laptop runs pretty hot so looking at thermal tape. (I also have normal double-sided tape, but I think itβs dead, LOL).
Thanks, but I donβt think itβs Kapton.
Iβve had to peel some flat cables off as Iβm replacing the palm rest and peeling them off has left some very light tacky residue that obviously kept them in place. I need to secure them inside the new palm rest/casing.
