Electronic Repair ExpertIf it's hardware-related, you're going to have to open the phone, find where the vibrating motor is located, and start more troubleshooting on the hardware side. It could be fixed by replacing the vibrating motor, but most phones now, especially Samsung devices, have the vibrating motor integrated into the speakers. And you might want to replace the charging module board, which gives power to the vibrating motor and the speaker. In this case, you might need to send your phone to your manufacturer for repair.
