(My tablet also has electrical tape on the cord, but it hasn't interfered with functioning yet - as opposed to the power cord of the laptop, which is a horrid macgyvered thing that loses connection if you breathe wrong and requires re-taping every two days as it burns through the most recent layer of tape. It makes strong men cry.)
