Sorry for double post but found some stuff that relates to all of this:
Tools required: Torx 6 screwdriver, Torx 5 screwdriver

* Using the torx 5 screwdriver remove the two screws which hold the battery cover in place, located where the screwdriver is pointing in the picture below

* With the battery cover now removed you can remove the back cover. Run a credit card all the way round the edge of the housing to release the clips which hold it in place

* Your phone should now be in 3parts, like below. Remove the two torx 6 screws at the top of the phone, circled in red. You can now release the front cover

Quote from sony a: Removing the Glass Lens cover was easy, it is just attached using a ring of sticky adhesive - just a bit of force loosens it easily. It can be replaced easily too, if you want to!

I have used that tutorial to replace the screen on one of mine, a credit card will work fine but itll prolly ruin the corners or the card as the phone actually is put together very tightly.

It's a common hardware failure for K850i. I have read some other people here got the same problem. Pay a visit to a service centre.
Other hardware problems may be:
- lens cover fail to open or the otherwise
- dust accumulation under camera glass cover
- softkeys do not respond at all
- broken D-Pad

That's why K850i is not a success. Although not all users experience them, these flaws are surely the stigma.
