Hello,
does anybody know if there's a source for the black insulation foil that covers big parts of most mainboards? Often I have to remove it for repairs and I'd like to replace it.
Regards!

Re: Black foil on mainboards
Lenovo sells the "kits" for most of their products, but last I looked they were kinda spendy for what is basically foil tape. Kapton tape may be a resource in bulk if you cut your own.

Look for a roll of self-adhesive Kapton tape (in various widths).

Kapton seems like a good idea. I already have that in a lot of sizes. Might try it.
