I recently needed to replace the thermal paste from my Asus Notebook K52JU Laptop as it has become dry and my laptop has been running hot.
While doing this I came across two single sided adhesive plastic pieces http://imgur.com/0SlPfVK (sorry about image rotation) which lay over the CPU and GPU which I assume are to prevent a short circuit between the heat sink. I removed these temporarily to clean the thermal paste and then attempted to put them back
Upon doing this I realized that they no longer sticky enough to remain put and I don't want to risk running the laptop without these stickers applied... Is there anywhere online where I can purchase a similar material that I can cut to fit the CPU and GPU so that it does the same job?
Thanks much in advance
EDIT: It is probably also helpful to note that I live in the United Kingdom for shipping reasons
