Product Description
A dead or weak buzz on an iPhone 7 usually points to a failed vibration motor. This replacement restores vibration for calls, messages and notifications, and covers iPhone 7 models A1660, A1778 and A1779.
The motor sits inside the phone, so the iPhone 7 must be opened before it can be swapped. It suits repair shops and confident DIY repairers who are comfortable disconnecting the battery and handling small connectors.
A new motor is only worth fitting once you have ruled out the silent switch and the vibration settings, so check those first. Compare the model code on the back of your phone with the three codes listed here.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does this iPhone 7 vibration motor replace?
It replaces the vibration motor inside the iPhone 7, the part that produces vibration alerts for calls, messages and notifications.
Which iPhone 7 model numbers does this vibration motor suit?
This iPhone 7 vibration motor is listed for models A1660, A1778 and A1779.
My iPhone 7 no longer vibrates. Will this motor help?
If the motor is the fault, replacing it should bring back vibration on the iPhone 7. Check the silent switch and vibration settings first, so you do not open the phone for nothing.
Do I need to open the iPhone 7 to fit the vibration motor?
Yes. The vibration motor is an internal part, so the iPhone 7 has to be opened and the battery disconnected first.
Should I test the iPhone 7 vibration motor before sealing the phone?
Yes. Connect it, power the iPhone 7 on and trigger a vibration alert before closing the case.
