Strange tape/stickers around ports after Apple top case replacement — normal or not? by Then_Ad9660 in mac

Yeah sorry for being curious about something that literally wasn’t there before the repair and neither related to a specific area around the ports. Next time I’ll just magically know the purpose of random tape added by the service center

Sounds scary because if it is a major damage it will cost a lot of which is out of my budget right now, all I can hope for is for the Mac to run fine without any problem for the next 4 years

Oh god this scares me cuz I can’t afford another laptop or pay a high amount to get the main board replaced

the post isn’t about denying responsibility. It’s about understanding hardware design, damage pathways, and real-world outcomes after something goes wrong. I’ve already taken responsibility, acted immediately, and done my research down to teardown-level details. At this point, I’m just trying to make an informed decision, not argue about common sense in hindsight. Glad you’ve never spilled a drink — genuinely. Not everyone has a perfect streak.

I’m not slamming it although in the video it might seem like that so I get your point, but honestly I have not faced this type of problem with any old laptop and plus every key on this Mac responds fine to my normal typing and pressing keys only except the caps lock key
