Use this guide to restore silent alerts and replace a faulty vibrator in your iPhone 6.
This guide instructs you to detach the front panel assembly; this is intended to prevent damage to the display cables.

Why do I need to remove the screen if the vibration device is in the open side of the iPhone ? Can't I just leave the screen connected and replace the vibrator ??
You can certainly do that! We added a note to the introduction to make that more clear.
You know that feeds the vibrator voltage?
Even with the battery off?
I replaced my vibrator but its still not working correctly. It does vibrate but not fully if that makes sense. its like a slight vibrate rather than a strong one.. Ideas?
