    hello,
    so I was replacing the thermal paste on the GPU and CPU, but the fluid I used to remove the thermal compound also "cleaned" these foils and now they don't stick on the PCB.
    Can't take a picture now, but it's on the integrated GPU die and on the MXM board, similar transparent foil as in this thread: https://techreport.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=93644

    Can I use regular thin transparent tape or is this some special insulation tape ? What exactly is the name of it ?

    it's isolation tape, honestly you can probably just leave it without the tape, I'd be suprised if anything bad would happen like something shorting.
