Circuit tape? What on earth is that?

How about double-sided tape to stick it back in place? Artist supply
shops have very thin tape, you don't want to use foam double-sided. Or
you local Dollar Store has a variety...

A flat flex connector perhaps?

If you're talking about a flexible circuit that is (was) bonded to the LCD screen proper, you're SOL.

If you're talking about the flexible ribbons that connect between the display screen and the tcon using flip-up connectors, you can find these on ebay from someone who carelessly ripped a bonded LCD screen ribbon and is parting out what's left..

If it is that, then before giving up it might be worth trying this stuff:

Unlikely to work but might be fun trying. Alignment would be very critical.

I actually got that tape to work on the bonded ribbon between the display and the address board many years ago on a 720 (where the spacing was wider), but only on the address board side. Most of the ribbons are bonded to the glass in between the plastic laminate layers and are not accessible unless the plastic can be pealed off without damaging the glass beneath.
