I had the same problem once. I searched here and found the suggestion to knock on the backcover or shake the phone. I disassembled the phone and found quite some piece of housedust that prevented the vibrator from rotating.

The solution/workaround for me was a combination of both of your solutions. The high pitched noise is the vibrator trying to move, but something's in the way, so:
1. make it try to vibrate the whole time with the dbus command, and
2. knock it and shake it while it is trying to move.
Hope this solves it!
P.S.: I'm pretty sure I read this procedure somewhere in the forum, just don't ask me where... Bottom line: Credit is not mine!

@Obsidian and @txus
that worked....
While it was trying to vibrate I kicked the back of the N900 and it started vibrating again
Didn't thought of that as a solution, but thank you both.
Even if the problem is fixed I think that I should get a new phone, this one is kind of old (with some little problems) and slow... anyone knows when should the donations for the Neo900 stop? I would like to donate but I can't right now.

Not sure when will the pre-orders/donations stop. Maybe, around December? Or February?

<Nokiabot> Xseba360:it seems february
<DocScrutinizer05> Xseba360: no way we still manage it for Q4
<DocScrutinizer05> realistically we're at Q2/2015 meanwhile
<DocScrutinizer05> sorry our website is still quoting Q4/2014
<Nokiabot> @Doc you somewhere told estimated feb ?
<DocScrutinizer05> Nokiabot: I told there's no way to be any earlier than February, no matter what we do
<DocScrutinizer05> but that assumed basically zero time for proto_V3
<DocScrutinizer05> realistically proto_V3 will take us months
<DocScrutinizer05> 2 maybe
<DocScrutinizer05> maybe 3 or 4
<DocScrutinizer05> and I dunno if Nik's available time gets any better soon

Per aspera ad astra...
I recently observed that my N900 stoped vibrating when it receives a call or when it should normally.
I think that the piece of hardware that is doing the vibration is broken, but I want to be sure of it.
Could it be software related? I have a script that I use to test the vibration and when I execute it I get a pitching sound but no vibration.
If it is hardware related, is it hard to replace that part?
Thank you.
