Welcome to MoDaCo :(

If perfectly possible to replace a 2125 lcd with one from a C550/C660/SDAII(uk)/SDA(US) as they have the same part number :) (the ones you can get off ebay work fine)

As for how to do it, I quote myself in one of the tornado section threads (HERE) which explains how to swap the LCDs from two phones but the general method is there :D

You will need to COMPLETELY disassemble both phones (refer to the guides in this forum if nessacery), gently lift up the screen from the top of the phone and unstick the orange cable from the underside for the screen at the edges. This will allow you to fold the screen completely over so its face down in effect. Then remove the yellow sticky tape from where the screen is plugged into the mainboard and using a small flat blade screwdriver flick up the small brown plastic latch on the connector and gentley pull the cable out of the socket.

Do the same on the other phone.

Now to replace the screen:

Take the screen and with the cable facing the right way up, insert it into the socket on the mainboard, you may need to bend the ribbon cable up and push against that to get it all the way into the socket, then after it is all the way in, press the small brown plastic latch back on top of the cable so it clicks securely into place. If you dont you will get white/multicoloured lines etc on the screen.

Repeat on the other phone then reassemble both phones.

Hope this helps :P

Any questions, just reply here or PM me :D
