SS_Dave Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 It is part of the faraday cage along with the top and bottom shielding. I have found the bottom is the most important piece. M$ must have had some RF leakage around that location and failed the FCC testing. Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.
