Question [Q] Haptic Feedback/Vibrate

Wasn't sure really where to post this. I just got my Mesmerize a few days ago and everything is working perfectly except the vibrate and haptic feedback is insanely weak (if I receive a call while i am holding the phone, I can barely feel it). I have checked all settings and the phone has been reset, reflashed, etc. It was doing this with stock 2.1 as well. Normally I would bring it back but it's an ebay phone. It is most likely a hardware issue, I guess. I just need someone to tell me I'm screwed so I can move on. Thanks!
