So up until yesterday everything was fine, since i woke up i noticed the vibration on my phone wasnt working anymore. I rebooted the phone and eveything but nothing happened. Then i thought the vibration motor must have stopped working which is weird in itself. But eventually i got to a point where i shook my phone and then it started vibrating again normally, then stopped again after a while. Everytime i shake my phone vigorously it works then stops after a while. I think the wire connecting the vibration motor has come loose. Any solutions??

Hi,

Except opening your device or send/take it to a repair service, not much you can do...

Motor location:

I already opened my Pixel XL. I didn't really like it... ?

Good luck though...

Thats what i was afraid of, i already know where the vibration motor is and how to open it. Regardless, its always nerve wrecking while taking off the screen. All im worried about is damaging the screen....
