iPhone 13 Vibration Motor (Taptic Engine) Replacement

iPhone 13 Vibration Motor (Taptic Engine) Replacement Description
If your iPhone 13 no longer vibrates for calls and alerts, buzzes or rattles when it should tap, or the keyboard and Haptic Touch feel dead, the Taptic Engine (the vibration motor) needs replacing. On the iPhone 13 the screen is the way in: we open the phone from the front, do the repair and reseal it with new adhesive, so it keeps its water resistance as well as possible.

Symptoms this repair should fix:

• No vibration for calls or alerts
• Rattling or loud buzzing instead of a tap
• Haptic Touch and keyboard clicks feel dead
• Vibration works sometimes and stops
