Hello,

I just replaced my malfunctioning inverter on an Asus m3np. The new inverter had some clear yellowish tape on the right side (facing it) and I left this on. Is there any risk in having done so due to heat, generated by the inverter?


Thanks

Harold

No you'll be fine, most inverters I've seen have the tape on them when they're first sold in a new laptop. I wouldn't lose any sleep over this one Harold.

Just to be sure, here is the link to a picture of the actual inverter I bought on eBay. The tape is visible on the right

Difference in these cards is only the factory OC right?

I should say that is the only difference.
