What is the black tape used in laptops to cable manage wires to the board? When doing laptop repairs, mainly re-doing thermal paste, the tape that is used to cable manage on the motherboard doesn't re-stick well. They seem to be fabric backed. The best guess i can find is automotive wire loom tape. electrical tape will not stay adhered, and i refuse to use scotch tape. My concern using the automotive tape is the adhesive being too strong during later removal, damaging the board or leaving residue.

It's probably a certain electrical tape and the reason yours won't adhere is probably just because of dust

Try using the PSU Tier List!

i agree with James kapton(Polyimide) tape is what you want, non conductive, heat resistant and strong. for better adhesion make sure where your taping is clean and dry.
