      • Use tweezers to pull the vibrator module out of its socket.

      • Since the vibrator module is glued in place we recommend applying a low-level heat source to loosen the glue.

      • Be sure not to let the vibrator module become too hot to touch.

      • If using metal tweezers be careful not to touch any other phone components.
