Follow this guide to replace the vibration motor, also known as the vibrator, in your Google Pixel 8a.
If your phone doesn't vibrate anymore, or the vibrations suddenly feel weaker, your vibration motor might need a replacement.
You'll need replacement back cover and flash unit adhesives to complete this repair.
Note: Any repair can compromise the water resistance of your phone. Retaining water resistance after the repair will depend on how well you reapply the back cover adhesive.
