A while ago I took my IDM out,I was going to mod it, but seen how small everything was, and I just couldn't do it. I seen this little black thing, half falling off, so i took it off and taped over it. What was it? was it a vent or something? maybe i shouldn't have taped over it?

 

a pic would be great to help identify this mystery part

 

let me see what i can do, If i have to take the IDm out, i will mod it this time. I'll do it even if i don't have to take it out

 

here is the link to it

Click on it and upload the picture from is location on your computer. Do everybody a favor and keep it to around 600x450 pix. Or you could upload it to your gallery, then just copy and paste in your post.

 

 

Tell me what I am seeing.

 

You are seeing my IDM, with a hole in it, you can see the circuit board I just taped over it is that ok, or was there a vent or something there? Will it be ok taped

 

Should be fine, don't think it would need air as there are no moving parts to to cool. It does seem it would need to be sealed against moisture. Never had mine out so I can't compare. Maybe someone who has pulled theres will jump in soon.
