Dont even bother reading this unless you already have aquired the surflink port. They are basically impossible to get the parts through ifixit and microsoft. in europe at least.
Is this strip tape or it metal? Is there replacements for it? I habe been trying to find it but I can only find tape as an alternative to this part.

Ok and how do you reattach it when you're done? I mean is it glued on or how does that work?
