I have owned my Fitbit Blaze since about May 2017 (I think). It has worked well over the 2 years and nine months. A couple of days ago it started to flash between the normal screen and a red/white patterned screen every few seconds. This started during the day under normal use. It shows the same behavior in all modes (standard time/date screen, exercise screens, timer screens, etc)
I tried re-charging it but to no effect. It continued to flash while in the charging cradle. As far as I could make out the charge was full anyway.
I have left it for a couple of days near the dongle on my laptop in case a new version or patch downloaded, also to no effect.
As the battery seems to be taking a charge I don't think the problem is with the battery. Does this mean my Blaze is ready for the scrapheap or is there something I can do to fix it?

I found a solution provided by RicardoFitbit to a similar problem posed by @Pop399. (I missed it the first time through.) The solution of turning my Blaze off then on again worked. I didn't know you could do that! Everything now back to normal. Brilliant. Thank you.
