I just replaced the screen on this laptop and now I am having trouble choosing an adhesive to use on the bottom edge of the laptop where the plastic frame attaches? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Is this a good question?

Low tack double sided tape if you insist on replacing it. You will be fine without it, but the part of the bezel with the HP logo may appear loose without any used, but it's cosmetic and only matters if you care about looking passably stock. Even HP still uses screws on their bezels despite the move to tape being the norm.
Personally I wouldn’t replace it, but something like this will work if you insist on adding tape. Just make sure the permanent side (the part that comes off the roll without protection) goes on the bezel and not the LCD in case you need to service it - these new LCDs are so thin it doesn’t take much to break it again. Tape is just going to complicate service since it's a tape/mechanical hybrid bezel configuration.

So I replaced my screen but when I went to put the bezel on I noticed I did something to the lcd because it looked like it bled on the inside ...i just ordered another to try again...how do you put the bezel back in without damaging the screen 😭😫???
Ps. I also didn't use tape to put it back could that be why?
@sparkcruz The trick on these is to snap from the outer edge and run your finger across. Make sure the bottom part gets done first and with more caution.
Not using tape saves time for future repairs, it doesn’t protect the bare panel.
