Fitbit Alta HR died after a year and almost 3 months RIP - short life expectancy - restart useless

[nigella_a]

Hello My Fitbit friends,

I said goodbye to my fitbit two days ago.  That is after only a year and almost three months. The screen started blinking or flickering and switching quickly between different screens, making it useless. The sync with my phone was lost too.

I googled that issue in an attempt to resurrect my tracker. I found a whole lot of people with the very same issue. The Answers to restart it did not help at all.

All this lets me believe that it is designed to last just a little bit after the warranty expires. It is very sad. 

Is there anything else I could do?

Thanks,

Nigella

This is happening to me too which is why I’m up looking for answers. I guess I need to say Goodbye to Fitbit for good!
