Step 1
– Grab those tweezers and gently peel away the pesky conductive tape adhesive nestled in the top right corner of the motherboard cover. You’re on the right track!
– Next up, take the flat end of your spudger and give that remaining adhesive a little love tap—scrape away any stubborn bits that are still hanging on.
– Now it’s time to get a little scientific! Use a pipette or syringe to drop a few splashes of highly-concentrated isopropyl alcohol (over 90%) right on that residue, and then wipe it clean with a cozy microfiber cloth. Look at you go!
