It won't let me upload a picture but I will try adding it to the comments.

But I have an HP Envy x360 and did a cheap/sloppy "repair" of the left hinge (cold welded it). When I was putting the screen back on, I ended up shattering a place which fell out, about 2 inches x 0.5 inches (5 cm x 1.27 cm) near the right hinge, and then a smaller area on the left hinge which has stayed in place. The screen itself is fine - it's below the screen where the hp logo is that is broken.

Is there anything (cheap) I can put on it to keep from breaking further, like electrical tape or something else?

I can't afford to buy a new screen (or hinges) which is why I cold welded it in the first place.

Thanks for your help
