Hi @engrmusaqasim

It could be a loose or faulty vibrate motor or perhaps a problem on the systemboard.

Try replacing the vibrate motor and check if that resolves the problem.

Here's an image taken from this teardown video that shows where it is located in the phone.

Search online for GH31-00788A to find suppliers of the part.

If it is still no good after replacing the motor here's the troubleshooting flowchart from the service manual and also zoomed in images and normal size images showing the location of the components mentioned in the flowchart. Note: ANT5000 and ANT5001are the motor flex cable board connection terminals
