@BillieM, Charge 3? Do you know something we don't?
What happens when you put the Charge 2 on the charger cable connected to a working USB port? What does the display show? Have you tried restarting the Charge 2 three times following the instructions in this help article, How do I restart my tracker?

A warm welcome to the Community @BillieM and @USAF-Larry thanks for stopping by.
If your Charge 2 is not charging, I recommend doing the following:
1. Clean the charging contacts on the back of your Fitbit, since over time the contacts can accumulate dirt and debris that prevents them from making a good connection to the charger. Use a toothpick or toothbrush to clean the charging contacts; do not scrape them with anything metal because this can damage the plating and result in corrosion.
2. If you haven't done so, try a different port. A UL-certified wall charger will also work. Don't use a USB hub.
3. Check the alignment and try reconnecting your tracker to the charging cable.
4. Restart your Charge 2 by doing the following:
I hope this helps, let me know the outcome. ![]()
