Vibrator not working, no bell on screen when toggling the mute switch?

I recently dropped my iPhone 4 from waist high onto a carpeted floor. At first glance my phone was fine. Later I received a text message and wondering why my iPhone didn't vibrate. I flipped the mute switch and no bell displayed on my screen and no sound can be heard from the phone. (except through earphones and playing a video etc) my iPhone is basically stuck on silent with no vibrate!!!

Can anyone tell me what might be wrong?

The iPhone is no longer under warranty.

I'm 100% capable of repairing my iPhone just need to know what part/s to replace.

The sound works through the headphones and bottom speaker fine. It's just like the phone is stuck on mute (but no vibration either) I can't hear messages or calls when I get them. Once again when I flip the mute switch nothing happens, no vibration no bell displaying on the screen but everything else works fine and no it's not a setting turned off. Only started happening since I dropped my iPhone.

It sounds like the flex cable may have been damaged when you dropped the phone. I would start with having the mute switch flex cable replaced. It is possible that you could have damaged the logic board in some way, but I would start there.

Krista, I am experiencing the same problem. Did you figure out the problem yet? Please let me know. My email is also johnbrabant AT yahoo.com if you have any answers. I have this problem coupled with a camera jamming and not working in the regular mode and only works when I access it through the message function. H-E-L-P!
