I was drilling holes in the case of my fire TV stick when I found pic related...
What the heck is it for?

Wifi/Bluetooth antenna

llooks like the antenna

By it isn't connected to anything???

Gaydar. You've been found out.

because you tore it apart.

There is a via in the middle, it connects the antenna to the other side of the board or to one of the inner layers

RFID

what is a via?
It was not physically connected to anything...

doubtful

provide pic of the other half and we can tell you.

...

I now see i was wrong about the via part, i stll think it's an wifi/Bluetooth antenna. Probably connected to the mainboard with a small spring contact

NSA keylogger. No jihad for you, Ahmad.

impossible, in fact, there was a small flat plastic board between it and the rest of the device.

Is it a BS snake oil antenna?

let's the device know if the cover is on or off

Enjoy your offline experience

Fuck...

We have a definitive answer here or what Sup Forums???

You're right, then it's probably rfid containing the serial number etc if you look in this picture there is an pcb antenna on the board

Small update, it's an rfid sticker

My Fire Stick as RFID?

The small black blob in the middle is the rfid chip.

Yes and no, its just an identification number. It isn't connected to the fire stick at all.

Thabkyou for the answers Anons.
Thanks Sup Forums
Cleverest motherfuckers around.

What project is it that involves drilling holes on that device? I'm interested and curious

Ventilation

Watercooling?

How the hell would I water cool my Fire TV stick?
