Alex also shared pics on how he repaired a broken connection on the vibration motor.

Hi Ivar @etoivv and Jude @JackANDJude,

Hi again I was happy to repair the 2 wire connector but now I have a problem with a 3 wire connecor. . It seems that it is not the connector Alex proposed.
Does anyone know the type and an European supplier?
Thanks so far Alex!

Hi Ivar @etoivv ,

It is a connector from Sparkfun, make JST. I cannot find the exact model. But you can buy the W1 wire bit from Kiwi electronics in the Netherlands, see

Purchase a single wire or purchase a multi-pack and save!
