So what the fuck is up with the orange plastic on this CPU and GPU?
I opened up a laptop to change the thermal paste and came across this. Do they serve any purpose or can i go ahead and try to remove them? There's a ton of dried up paste underneath, i cleaned up most of it already but it was some of the worst paste application's I've seen

And then there's this, but that's a whole different story

It looks like Kapton protecting some of the circuitry on the chip. It should be fine to remove it.

this. probably wouldn't hurt to leave it there as well.

That's what i assumed as well but needed some more insight.
Guess I'll try to remove it to clean all the paste that is under it and then put it back

Or not, seeing it's glued on and has no signs of giving out guess ill just leave the dried paste on.
