> Swapping Vibrator on T68i?
Bookmark topic
Hi Guys,
I have just bought a T68i but it doesnt vibrate. I have an old t68i that all the buttons messed up on which used to vibrate fine, is it possible to swap the vibrators and is it an easy job?
Thanks a lot for any help
Dan

Are you sure you have the vibrator function ON?
This message was posted from a T230

Could be just that the contacts need cleaning. I've now literally just swapped a vibra motor out of a dead T68i into another one with no problem.
All you need to do is lever the antenna cover off (which can be a bit tricky - careful you don't damage it!), take off the T6 screws that are under the battery and under that antenna cover, carefully take the front facia off, should come off if you slide a fingernail between the front facia and the rest of the phone. The vibra motor is inside the front facia, it should just lever out using something like a screwdriver with minimal pressure, then just slot it into the other T68i, put it back together and that should be it!

You can get T6 screwdrivers cheap off Ebay, £1-£2, DIY/hardware stores may sell them, not sure.
I've found the best way to get the aerial cover off is to carefully put a small screwdriver in one of the plastic flaps you can see either side of the clip that holds the battery in (this is with the battery removed of course!), and carefully work the cover off, it should come off eventually, just be careful not to scratch or snap a part off the cover.
