What is the function of the copper adhesive tape at the top of the LCd screen

ground connection for the LCD, protects from static, etc, may also hold down something underneath!

Quote from Floofy:

For some reason the multi-touch stopped working after i started to remove the glass. should i pretend that i didn't try and mess with it and send it in for warranty repair or should i try again to take it apart? i don't know why it isn't working whether i nicked something or if somehow the glass isn't touching anymore or something silly like that.

did you figure out what you did...either i have done something different or similar!
