Name of the extra strong clear tape used on Laptop screens

[nogger]

Hi all, just replaced a laptop screen and it worked fine for a couple of days but now i am getting intermittent flashing lines/white screen. Although the new screen came with some clear plastic tape to secure the LVDS cable to the connector i notice it had pulled out the socket a little
& re-positioning the tape means it's now lost some of its adhesive. Dies anyone know the name of this very high grab tape which is used on these laptop screens to secure cables etc ?

Many thanks

I personally always used box tape or packing tape. Never had a issue. And I have seen older laptops with masking tape holding the lvds cable!

You should try Cloth Tape

I use Kapton tape.

Thanks guys for all your advice, Kapton was the name i was thinking of but i found some black gaffer tape which might work first.

I used to find with some tapes that the adhesive got soft when it got warm and stopped holding. I don't suppose it's much of an issue now with most screens being LED.
