Blaze won't work unless it's connected to the charging cable

[RkBlaze89]

My Blaze is working only while on charging. I think the battery is dead and working on direct power. 

Is it possible to change battery?

Have you reached out to Support via Chat? They are usually pretty helpful, Although Blaze is discontinued. Definitely worth a try.

Yes. IDK why people repost things already detailed in this forum but yes yes yes and 1000x yes, it's possible to change the battery. They're cheap and available on Amazon. I paid $7 🙂

You can get the kit over Amazon and a search of you tube will bring up video instructions. 

Some friend's teenager could do this, if you do not want to 

Since your out of warranty, it may be worth trying.

Hi, @Rich_Laue what is this kit version you're referring to and how is it different than the Blaze battery I'd sourced and suggested from Amazon? I've attempted to search for a blaze kit on Amazon and haven't found anything. What is included in the kit vs. the battery replacement and what's the price difference? Do they include some tools or is it like a complete Blaze overhaul kit with a new band? Sounds curious! I've not seen any Blaze videos, it's one of the simpler of the Fitbits to replace the battery in as it's just 4 screws on the back, a ribbon cable, then the inside screws, and 2 solder points. Here's the one I'd purchased:
