    Hi. I want to replace a hard drive in my Macbook. Where can I purchase a roll of the yellow tape Apple uses to secure ribbon cable and connectors? It isn't vinyl electrical tape -- a much thinner tape that seems to lose its stickiness once it has been pealed back a few times.

    Sourcing?

    Thx.

    I'd like to know the answer to this myself. I even asked Apple if they sell it (they don't) or if they even know what the name of that yellow tape is called. He said it was just called tape, and to look for it at Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart has a horrible tool selection though, so I have my doubts. And I still don't know what that kind of tape is called.
