We are going to use a double sided adhesive tape to reattach the screen to the back cover.
Cut four pieces of adhesive strips and apply them in the screen corners. Lift the screen up
and apply some pressure in the corners

of 1/8 inch double sided adhesive tape, which you can buy on our site:

and apply them on narrow vertical sides of the bezel. Cut 3 pieces of wider 1/5 inch double sided
super adhesive tape and apply them on top and bottom sides of the bezel.

back cover and apply some pressure to catch the adhesive. Go around the perimeter.
