Blaze screen starts flashing non stop and it won't restart

[KarinLittle]

My Fitbit Blaze screen has starting flashing non stop and it won't restart, I've also tried charging it but that doesn't fit the issue either. HELP I don't want to have to buy a new one again. My Fitbit Flex only lasted two years before it died and now my Blaze is 2 years old.

Welcome to the Community Forums @KarinLittle! I'm sorry for the late response. Thanks for the steps you've tried to solve the issue with your Blaze. 

Please try charging your Blaze once again for at least 1 and then perform a restart on your device one more time by following these steps. If the restart doesn't work and the display is still not turning on even after the recommended steps. Please take a look at the help article Why isn't my battery charging?

We recommend to charge your trackers via the USB port over a wall adapter. However, it is also possible to charge your Fitbit tracker with a UL certified wall adapter. What may actually cause damage to the tracker's battery (either on a computer or a wall adapter) is the charging time, which if excessive over time may damage the battery and therefore cause quick battery drain or prevent the tracker from charging at all. 

Tips to best charge Fitbit trackers are:

• Use only genuine Fitbit charging cables
• Use only UL-certified wall chargers
• Avoid USB battery packs
• Charge at room temperature

For charging purposes, your charging cable can be plugged into any USB power source, including but not limited to:

• A computer
• A Wall A/C to USB adapter, commonly found with smartphones
• A DC to USB adapter (vehicle power port)
