I got a new battery for my Alta since it wouldn't turn on unless connected to power, but after installing it I now get nothing. I soldered it enough times I'm confident in those connections and I multimeter-ed the circuit and it says there is energy (albeit only tells me there is if I measure in the reverse direction??? negative on positive?). I cleaned the connections to the charger and restarting does nothing. I would appreciate it if anyone has ideas on what I did wrong or things to try. I do have another fitbit on the way so I'll just be upset until that comes in lol.

hmmmm... I read an article that said their battery seems to work fine but some other bit of hardware pooped out bc that's just how they make it and mine is quite old. Idk how old but definitely more than the 1-2 year lifespan... Since it seemed to work fine before I changed the battery I thought it was fine but maybe I triggered something?
