Nothing to worry about if you have glued it back on, it is buffer tape that serves a couple of purposes, it stops rattles, helps to create a snug fit between two surfaces that are screwed together... Go to the full post »

Hello friend
I wanted to know what these parts I marked in the picture are?
Yesterday, one of them came off from my case and I glued it back on.
Is it important?
Will it cause any issues if it breaks?
Are these tapes?
What is their purpose?
My case is an HP EliteDesk 705 G4.

Question, if you are worried by something so basic why do you have the computer partially dismantled in the first place.

Hi Bro

 

Thanks a lot for your answer. :wave: 

 

In response to the question you asked me, I have to say I really don't know. :D 

Thanks a lot for your answer.

You are welcome but be careful when opening up a PC, the PSU can hold enough charge to cause serious injury or worse and likewise the capacitors on the motherboard can hold enough charge to give you a jolt and while bricking the hardware in the process, bottom line, don`t open up a PC unless you know what you are doing and those that do know what they are doing will never open up a PC unless it is absolutely necessary.
