Unfortunately, in order to check the functionality of the replaced part, you must definitely assemble the phone ...
Collecting, of course, can be done in a slightly different sequence. That is, first we will snap all the cables, which is not so difficult. But you should be careful when snapping in, if you can't snap it, then it's better not to press with all the foolishness, but turn it off again and see if you just put the groove a little unevenly. If it still does not work, then blow out the connector and repeat the manipulation. If you nevertheless damaged the loop, then you will either have to replace it or give it to the master, who can try to restore the loop. 
Then you need to screw everything that we unscrewed ... It is important not to confuse the bolts, since they are all different not only in color, but also in size, due to carelessness, you can damage any part of the phone ... Also, when you tighten the screw, see so that the screwdriver does not fly off and hit the circuit board or other part of the smartphone. 
You can immediately snap the bottom cover to make it more convenient to assemble the phone ... If everything is already connected correctly, you can continue assembling and put on decorative covers.

How do I remove the battery cover?
To remove the battery cover:
Note: Do not use sharp objects that can damage the parts of the phone.
I broke a nail several times, the cover is removed from some models so tightly and tightly, but then I found a way out, because I felt very sorry for the nails. I take thin scissors from the manicure set and pry off the lid.
Although my sister can tear off without the help of foreign objects. She pulls up with her finger, but I can't do that. And the laptop we have, the battery is also removed with the help of scissors or the fingers of the sister.
I agree that the cover Sony XPERIA L It is very difficult to shoot, I know from the words of my relative who has this phone. And she found some advice on the Internet. The official manufacturer gives recommendations on how to open the back cover of this model as follows:
On their website it is written that you cannot use sharp objects, as you can damage the case and you need to do this very carefully.
I read reviews on the Internet earlier and all users of this smartphone complain that there is such a problem with opening the back cover, although the model is basically good and everyone likes it, and this is its only drawback. And most often every second person causes damage when opening the cover.
the new Sony phones seem to have a hard time opening the covers. the manufacturer, apparently, decided that since the phone has a sim card and a flash drive inserted from the side, then these are individuals and do not need it))) and in fact, as long as the phone is new, there is no such need. it can appear only when the phone is old and its battery runs out.
Indeed, the cover of this phone model is not so easy to open. But skill is needed, most importantly, do not rush and do not be nervous, and also do not try to open the lid with scissors, knives, needles. With the right skill, you will soon be able to do it with ease.
To do this, take the phone in your hand and hold it with the display facing up. Then, with the thumb of your other hand, pry the hole where the lock button is and pull a little, the lid should open easily.
I bought a girl such a phone and spent the whole evening trying to remove the cover. Nothing worked, the Internet helped for that. But it is not necessary to bend each corner, you can slip your finger under the cover a little and lead it to the center of the phone.
I have my own phone Sony XPERIA J very difficult to open. The first time, to put a SIM card in general, was pretty much worn out. The phone was new and I didn't want to apply force to it, so as not to damage the case. I had to look for a video on YouTube on how to open it. Being already more confident in my abilities and knowing that he would not break anything of my actions, I armed myself with a knife and with its tip pried the edge of the lid through a special side slot. The lid came off a little, then bent dangerously, but still opened. Now I open the phone more successfully, feeling with my hands the tensile strength of the cover, but I try to do it less often.
My husband also has a Sony XPERIA smartphone. I asked him: "How do you open the back cover?" Answer: I don’t open, I don’t need it. A SIM card is inserted on the side of it;
But seriously, I agree that the lid is difficult to open, but, probably, due to the fact that there is no need to constantly open it, and occasionally to neatly pick it up with something, it will not be difficult.
I have such a smartphone. The cover can be removed easily when you start to open it not from the corners, as shown in the video (this is difficult), but from the side. The lid on this smartphone is designed like a back case.
Hold your smartphone on your left hand with the display facing up.
With your thumbnail, pry the cover just above the lock button.
Insert your fingernail between the display itself and the cover (above the lock button).
The lid will move a little and now you just have to bring the nail to the bottom and, with a little effort, remove the lid.
I also tried to open the lid in several ways, and this method seemed to me the easiest and fastest.
Try it. I will be glad if it works out.
It is very easy to forget your password or picture. This is a common problem that some people even run to a service center. But in fact, you should not waste time looking for such a center in your city. Below is a guide for Sony Xperia owners to easily bypass the lock screen. By the way, it is she who is used in service centers.
