I took apart my dash to clean the inside. My camera wasn't working well so I thought it might fix it. Didn't really fix it, the software still freezes.

Anyway, the internal backup battery cables loosened from the connector way too easily... I barely even touched the cables. Now I can't seem to connect them back. It's way too fragile. I was wondering if I can get that part anywhere? The phone won't vibrate now... And I guess if I turn it off it just won't keep the time and date.

Maybe I should just get a new dash :/

You probably took the vibrator for the backup battery :) The vibration motor is flat and connected via a cable + connector to the board. It is located near the keyboard connector - usually the cable is wrapped around it. The vibrator connector can be plugged back to the socket.

Ha, it was the vibrating motor itself. I thought it's some sort of an internal battery.
I figured out how to connect the wires back. I took out the little plastic connector's legs out and was able to fit in the wires and push those legs back in.
Wasn't simple cause everything is so small, but after a few minutes I got it back working. Phone vibrates again :)
