Problems


  • No vibration in iPhone.
  • Slow vibration.
  • Random vibration (Sometimes it vibrates and sometimes it doesn’t).
Reasons of Problems


  • Vibrator itself might have become faulty due to any of the reasons.
  • Vibrator problem also arises due to water or any kind of physical damage.
  • Connection between on-board connector and vibrator’s contacts could be broken.
  • There could be dust or rust over vibrator’s contacts.
  • Any of the components or vibrator controller IC can also be faulty.
Workaround


  • Go into phone settings and check vibrator status. Toggle between ON – OFF and check.
  • Restart your phone and check.
Hardware Solution


  • For low vibration, the only thing that you can do is to replace your vibrator, as this is the problem in your vibrator not in your phone’s circuit or components.


  • The very first thing that you need to do is to check vibrator with the help of a multi-meter, if it is damaged then replace it.


  • Clean vibrator’s contacts and check.
  • Now check on-board connector of vibrator. Last two pins of on-board connector are +VE and –VE pins. (check picture for reference)
  • Make sure that the connection between on-board connector and vibrator’s contact is intact, if no then change entire vibrator strip (Volume button included).
  • Now check Vibrator controller IC’s capacitors, if faulty replace them.
  • Gently heat vibrator controller IC. If it is still not working then replace it.
