That shows me the connector strap....but all is not lost.
I opened mine.
There's two small screws up top on either corner.
Two just below the battery pocket on either side and two on the bottom corners.
It looks like there may be a hidden one in the battery pocket,next to the contact terminals,under a round dot sticker.
They look like they may be #4 Torx head .. just a guess.
Get those out [remember their positions] and it should be fairly easy.

take it back to the shop and get it fixed?
If you lived in the Oklahoma City area I'd say bring it in to my shop & I'd get you all fixed up(I'm a phone/computer/game console repair tech) but I dunno what area you're in, so... Replacing screens is generally pretty easy but I REALLY recommend you take it to a phone shop if you don't know how to do it. These phones are extremely delicate & you could break it VERY easily with one wrong move. But if you insist on doing it yourself, this should hopefully help you out some with getting it apart- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WG7gt1EnN3w It's kind of fast & ****ty, but it's the only teardown vid I could find.
FYI- digitizers are stuck on with special double-stick adhesive that holds it in place over the LCD, so make sure the one you bought came with a new piece of adhesive because you can't reuse the old one(unless you're VERY careful) & the screen won't stay on w/o it. You'll wanna use a heat gun on a low setting or a hot hairdryer to get the old digitizer off too. And of course, be mindful of dust.
I just did exactly this repair and took some footage while doing it. Excuse the crappy voiceover.

if you've never done that before, I suggest (as I do to all my customers to save pain and money) find someone with knowhow, and kindly ask to look over their shoulder. this has worked for me on many many occasions. I know know how to windshield chip repair for one (although completely unrelated)
Hey all, I just wanted to put a question out to see if anyone else may be experiencing this issue. I got my I9003 last year in March and after few months I noticed that the display Glass/Screen is coming out or slightly popping out of the frame of the phone on the top edge. It appears as if it is put on with adhesive that is not working to well. The bottom edge feels good, the edge is slightly up beyond the glass, but on the top edge, the glass is coming above the level of the edge. Initially, it was very slight, and the glass would go inside to fit in the frame when i push it. But recently, the problem has amplified, the difference between the glass and the frame has increased much, and the MAIN PROBLEM is that due to a small gap on the top, dust has entered and my front camera is all filled with dirt. Now I fear that if dust enters above the sensors (proximity and light), that would make the the phone quite less useful.
I would appreciate it if anyone else has noticed this if they could let me, and others know. And also if the the phone can be replaced in guarantee period for this problem (manufacturer's defect).
Thanks.

No, the phone is kept/handled with utmost care and LOVE
Never dropped it even 1 feet distance. This problem, as i mentioned earlier, was since long time back, but only it gets into my notice more often now, just because of the dirty camera.
i noticed same thing not from fall.right top edge of glass.

Goto the customer service and say them that the mobile earpiece's upper portion gets overheated when charging and as a result the upper body part is popping out slowly due to heating... Hope this would help you..

Thanks for the tip.
Will visit soon and explain them (with extras). Lets see if they replace, or at least fix it.
Sorry for bumping, but i'd just like to report that i'm also experiencing this. Apparently the same thing happened with some galaxy tab's too.
I am the oldest user of i9003 bought the 1st lot of phone made on 4th Feb 2011 but since then never heard of this problem, seems a particular batch problem with sicking glue.
Take it to service center either they will repair it of replace it.
took it to the service center. they didn't replace the phone in whole but they changed the front panel, which holds the LCD (they said that the LCD is not separate but comes with the panel), with the LCD. anyways, i'm happy that the package feels nice touch and hold now
How much time it will take to fix it by service center

I took it on a Saturday. They told me they'll fix it by the coming Tuesday. Although I could collect it only on the next Saturday.
Even i noticed this.
Planning to take it to the centre, should I as a precaution remove all mods, root n stuff before giving it to them

Keep your hands dry as moisture on the screen causes something similar. Maybe a matte finish screen guard might solve your problem, but I am not sure about it.
Exactly, I've noticed the same. When fingers are a bit wet screen goes crazy, but it's a normal behavior I guess

What you guys need to understand is that phones like the iPhone and galaxy r are not touch sensitive. You probably noticed that you can't use a pen or even your nails. I'm not perfectly sure but I think it's because these phones are heat sensitive. So if your hand is wet, you can imagine what's gonna happen.

No man our screens are not heat sensitive, imagine what would happen to R in the dessert environment at over 50 degree C !
Its a Capacitive screen so applying pressure won't work. Its touch sensitive and works only when some capacitance is developed due to our skin touching the surface of the sensitive screen.
And to others I already suggested you to get a matte finish screenguard, why don't you try that guys it might help.

Guys,
pls help me..........Today my 4 months old magnus just fell to the ground and its Upper left screen got cracked.
Now the Touch is not working at All but display looks perfectly fine. Power Button is working too and my phone is charging as well.
Friends, pls tell me the expected cost of its touch screen. I have searched it on google, some guys saying its 800Rs-1000Rs and some has quoted around 7000 Rs.
Anxsiouly waiting for your replies !!!
if your display is fine than it must not cost above 400-500 bucks, And if someone asks for more than that probably they are cheating.
if you go to service center they will ask for about 2.5K so get it from local market..

My sCreen Also broke...and it costs about 2000 locally..:cyclops::cyclops::cyclops:
Local shops Compatible ( duplicate ) touch costs Rs.500/- and a more higher quality Og ( original ) costs Rs.700-800
In service center the actual price is Rs.1100-1300/-. But the guys try to quote sky high prices seeing people faces and reading their knowledge about phones.
Hello guys sadly my magnus screen broken
Upper left part working say around 10% of screen
Touch buttons not working...
How much it would cost...
i m not sure
I think if the screen is broken then it will cost u around 700
And if the display is broken the it will cost u around 6000...
But i m not 100% sure

It depends n your colour of phone.
If it's white one then,
Only Touchscreen cost --
900 local
600 (gafar market delhi)
2150 service center (original)- normally there is no availability
Both touch n display--
2700 local
If it's blue then, u have to change both touch screen n display since it's joined.
cost. -- same as white 2700 local
6300 service centre original
I am telling this detail since 3 of my friends have already replaced their screen 2 white n one blue.
One thing more, if u opt for only touch then take care that the shop keeper will take some responsibility since some times it gives a lots of problem after 2-3 days.
Any idea regarding Mumbai ???

Does anybody here has this little problem with lightbleeding from sides of the screen? On mine I have a little portion on the top center of the screen that has this problem. Do you think I can return it as a defective phone and get a new one without this "problem"?

Yes! you can return it as a defective phone and get a new one without this problem if you are under warranty , since this is a hardware issue (assuming it hasn't been dropped or tampered)
Yes I have it too in the upper center of the screen. But it was noticeable in complete white screen and highest brightness settings like only during bootanimation. So I didn't opt for a replacement.
