Conductive tape attaches the left edge of the heatsink shield to the heatsink.

Heat the tape with a heat gun or hair dryer to soften its adhesive.

Use tweezers or your fingers to remove the tape.

During reassembly, apply the tape in the same location it came from. Reheat the adhesive if the tape doesn’t stick well to the heatsink at first.
