There will be enough adhesive on the button PCB to adhere it to the new LCD.

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order. The frame should have enough adhesive to provide a secure grip. If additional glue should be necessary, preference should be given to rubber cement. This will ensure that, should another display replacement be necessary, the glue will come off with heat again.
