My extruder is vibrating instead of feeding. If anyone has any advice I would appreciate it because I am dumb.

I would start by disassembling the extruder and see if the motor rotates properly. If it doesn't, then check wiring from driver to motor. if wiring is OK then it's probably the driver that's dead. edit it could also be a dead stepper motor, try running it from a different driver to see if it works at all.

If it does move properly when disassembled, check shaft that connects it to the gears.
