Help Vibration

I think I may have a hardware issue with my phone, but I can't find anywhere that says where the physical vibrate thing is on my phone.

Anyways, my vibrate function stopped working completely a couple months ago, and it wasn't a huge deal. But I just (today) replaced the glass/LCD on my phone and the vibrate function worked for about 8 hours then stopped. Anybody have any idea as to what might be wrong or what I could do to fix it? It's not really a problem, just annoying.
 
It's in Settings>Sound I guess it does seem kind of odd that it's in there since it's not really a sound, but it's part of the notification settings. Try toggling it off and on or on and off and on again see if that fixes it. Also holding down the power button will let you see if you're "Vibrate only" mode is on or if silent mode is on.

Just in case you're looking for the actual physical piece that causes your phone to vibrate, it's a tiny counterweight on a motor under the battery cover, just above the battery. Can't miss it. Perhaps got bumped when you changed your screen enough to work, but then finish jiggling loose later?

Strange though, indeed, that it would just stop.
