    i'm looking all over for a solution... i triped, it fell on the ground, and at the same time i broke both the switch and the vibrating thing...
    and the worst part is that repair is as expensive as a new iphone, so if i could just use some software that would be great....

    i think the issue is that its a physical switch, but I could be wrong... It might just be jammed (is it stuck on the vibrate position?) Try taking the casing off and jostle it.

    Well, what you could do is try to move the part that's not broken off into the correct position. How you'd do this, I don't quite know, can we see some pictures of the damage?

    You must physically move the switch to make the connection otherwise it is an open connection, not a software issue. If you can't do it, I can. click this
    Can you show me a picture of the damage? Maybe I can guide you.
