I’m looking for one myself. I can’t find one online.

Demon -

Do i have to take the vibration motors off?What if i have a replacement motherboard with vibration motors already on,can i just replace it with that one?

P.S.-Pretty new to fixing these remotes so i apologize if my questions may sound stupid.

I'm not sure if anyone replied to your comment, but yes you can just use the new motherboard with the vibration devices already attached. It appears that some of the motherboards do not come with them already. If it doesn't then you would have to solder etc
