Solved! Can I remove the taped monitor connector from the motherboard?

The spot where the monitor connector is connected to the motherboard on my laptop has tape on it.
Is it still OK to remove it? Why are some connectors or spots on the MoBo taped, in the first place?

Yes, you can remove the tape to service the items inside the laptop. You should re-tape them when done. That is done to protect those items when re-assembling the system, to prevent damage to those items (like a pinched cable)

About re-taping:
Is this some kind of specialty tape and I should use the same to retape or will some other tape also do it?
What if the glue isn't good any more and it won't stick? Can I find replacements somewhere?

It will stick so stay with it. Done it many times.

Agreed, it will usually work as suggested.
