Question: I have a problem with the fan on the right side. I have a basic idea on how to remove etc., but my only question is about the tape it is using. When replacing it, will I need a special tape as it has now or can I just replace it and not worry about some special tape?

@sgal88 - You usually can reuse the tape. If not, you can use anti-static tape strips to replace them. The strips are available from our website.

@PowerbookMedic Do you need a tape?

[PowerbookMedic]

@sgal88 - Using the tape is recommended.

[PowerbookMedic]

@gaiahelper101 - It is almost impossible to have a "loose connection" with these connectors.
