Black foil on mainboards

#1 Post by ThinkChris » Fri Oct 24, 2025 8:36 am

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!

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).
