I have an original 7" Official Pi display but the adhesive tape that holds the screen to the metal plate that the PCB is mounted to has failed.

I've tried double sided tape as that was what was there before but it isn't thick enough to give a decent hold.

Can anyone recommend a suitable method for sticking these together before I resort to contact adhesive?

Would foam adhesive pads work?

post a picture which connection failed. At least I don't get that from your description.

I'd use foam double sided tape, probably 0.5mm thickness?

Software guy, working in the applications team.

I found some Gorilla Mounting Tape. A bit thicker than 0.5mm but very good hold.
