This an incredibly useful guide. I have the new screen, but I have asked and have not gotten an answer about what double-sided tape is used to attach the new screen to the body. Could someone supply this information pleasae.

You may use any double-sided tape you’ll find in a shop. I used a 0.5 mm tape or thinner. I found it in a Stationary shop.

Is the ED060XC5(LF)C1 screen, the same quality and matte as the original one? I don’t trust asian sellers so much, but the only one that I found on internet is this one.

In my case it has the same quality. I bought it on Aliexpress also.
