This is a side view of my laptop. My broken HDD is the one laying to the side. The blue chips are what I would assume to be the RAM, but this silver duck tape that goes underneath my HDD… Can someone explain that to me and what its purpose serves in my laptop?
Can't really tell from that picture but they're most likely ribbon cables or quite literally duct tape to tape away certain cables in the machine. Ribbon cables are more likely though.
could be grounding tape for safety.
They can be many things, holding wires up or crappy heat spreaders/blockers are the most likely uses.
NSA listening stuff modulated into strips of tape because anything ells would be too complicated for government workers lol
I demand more pictures!
This, it's an antenna for transmitting.
That's EMI shielding. Best to leave it alone.
