Hi,
is there anybody that knows where to find a T68i vibrator replacement unit? I've replaced a scratche cover with e new one, and just thrown away the old one... The vibrator was still there!
Thanks in advance.

Dumb question but what makes phones vibrate?

@nitro - There's a small motor that sits at the bottom of the front facia with a small metal weight at one end of the motor that moves, and the weight if offset so that it makes the motor (and phone) vibrate when it rotates at speed.
Yes, try Ebay. If you can't find a motor, you can probably buy a damaged or dead T68i cheaply, and cannibalise it for spares. One piece of advice though if you do buy a 'dead' T68 or T68i, try taking it apart, giving it a good clean, try charging it's battery for a good while, or try you battery in it before cannibalising it. I bought a 'dead' 3310 for spares once, and decided to try charging it and turning it on, and to my amazement it actually worked!! Turned itself off occasionally but worked! And you could either use other spares (like the LCD, screen, etc., or sell the spares separately and probably get your money back or even make a profit!

That's what I did! I already have 2 T68i, both working and in perfect conditions, so I tried to look for a non-working one on ebay, just to grant myself a spare parts source.
But the 'dead' phone I've bought was working! The battery was very old, and extensively used, the case was that bad that I got hurt just opening the box, that was brand new indeed...
I had a massive collection of
T68i and T68m cases, and a couple of batteries, so I've decided to renew it... The rest is history,
the vibrator was still attached to the old cover...
By the way, I've found an
eshop that has a huge selection of expensive spare parts. Not that expensive if you leave in UK:http://www.solware.co.uk/mobile-phone-spare-parts/sony-ericsson-t68i.shtml.
I'll go for it as soon as I'll find km internet point, on chance to
pay with Paypal using P800/N6600 and Opera.
Thanks everybody.
