iPhone 8 Plus Taptic Engine Replacement

[@paigeycass]

Okay this is such a great tutorial. I finally ordered my part with tools from Amazon for $10! I followed your easy steps and It’s finally fixed. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@thetechlibrarian]

Can you tell me what Symptoms your phone was having that lead you to determining the taptic engine needed replaced? Was your home button not working properly?

[@steviefix6870]

I disconnected it and reconnected and it fix it. Must of been a loose connection from being dropped. Thanks!

[@GRIBSOFT]

Very possible. I'm glad it worked out.

[@albert.0515]

I dropped mine recently and my vibration doesn’t work. So the same thing probably happened to me.

[@typicalbangali8499]

I didn't know there was another screw underneath so i had to search on youtube to find out why the taptic engine isn't coming off. So thanks bro

[@emmettturner9452]

Will this fix a phone that makes a loud buzz/beep when it vibrates? It sounds so much like a beep but it isn’t coming from the speakers so I have to assume something is loose and makes that noise when the Taptic Engine vibrates.

[@emmettturner9452]

OK. I took it apart and found that a screw was loose. Easy fix. That was my early assumption but after seeing many people online report this same sound and some even say that Apple couldn’t fix it, I had to assume that it was not a well known problem like a simple loose screw would be.

[@GRIBSOFT]

Thanks for letting us know, I hope this helps someone else!

[@emmettturner9452]

Save Apple Dollars Thanks!

[@emmettturner9452]

@@nugget1.041 maybe some accessibility option? Try a settings reset.

I have every time Unscrew the screws that hold taptic engine inside the case, why can this happen? Even after twisting everything repeats again :( , broken 2 taptics (

[@kenzobatt5718]

[@joseph2294]

Normally will not work if just change the taptic engine ,need to write back original serial number to new taptic engine..but sometime change the vibrate without write back the serial also work ..anyone have answers for this? Some say just look at last 2 number of old Taptic engine and find same number will work ,is this true?

[@luxuryme9086]

Can a phone work without the taptic engine?

[@cabugnasonchristiandave2576]

no

[@pratapgsm108]

Yes only vibrate expecting and haptic vibrate

[@sbegum4211]

There will be no vibration

[@Lilsportshady]

Yes. Just there will be no vibration

[@qkcam45]

question..bottom of the L bracket screws are two different sizes..some how i got them mixed up..does the smaller one go on the left? thanks

[@Dogappel]

*I know that I’m responding to a one year old comment, but I like to give the answer.* I had the same issue. The small triangle screw goes at the top. The biggest screw at the right and the medium screw at the charging port. So the biggest screw goes into a smaller hole than the medium one.

[@im4ch3t3dimachete5]

Is it same for regular 8

[@andrewchristian4064]

Does the iPhone 8 and 8 plus have the same taptic engine?

[@GRIBSOFT]

Yes

[@donaldhadi8775]

After change taptic enginee, do fingerprint work normal?

[@GRIBSOFT]

Yes

[@Pdcastclips715]

If I were to replace my Taptic Engine with another one would it work

[@qkcam45]

it is a bit different for regular iphone 8 .

[@jh5325]

Thats huge

[@UnapologeticallyKee]

There's only one comment on your channel so I just want to say something

[@GRIBSOFT]

Great, thanks.

[@marksanchez-tr6ey]

Will this make it not waterproof

[@GRIBSOFT]

Yes, it will break the rubber gasket that makes the phone waterproof.

[@Ricky32908]

Save Apple Dollars do they sell replacements of the waterproof seal?

[@NoBoostNick]

Ricky32908 yeah they are super cheap

[@UnapologeticallyKee]

Have you only comment

[@BrysonPrice]

Im also curious if they sell new rubber gaskets? I’m also planning on fixing the back glass so if I just order a new backglass with frame, will that come with the rubber gasket?

[@giovannofficialph]

If I were Apple i'd remove that taptic and just make a bigger battery

[@erikuhlin7856]

I fucked up

[@MotherViksChaat]

i did this and found the two screws completely dislodged on the left of the haptic engine. So now I cant even screw them in because the mount came off with the screw. I probably have one of the rarest situations with these phones, the engine works fine. There probably isn't a replacement for what the screws screw into.

[@luxuryme9086]

Zakk Molina same exact thing happened to mines. So now im just looking for a new phone
