I have recently had my Blaze tracker replaced; after charging the tracker fully for several hours I have set it up and updated it with the latest firmware (402).
After putting the tracker on the strap, it will not turn on. At all.
I have held down the middle button for over 10 seconds, the middle button and bottom right buttons for over 10 seconds, uninstalled and re-installed the Fitbit app, unpaired and paired the tracker several times, and no response at all unless the tracker goes back in the charging dock. Even then the battery display states that it is either full or empty, so I do not know which is true.
Please respond to this as soon as possible.

Thanks for responding, I have replied to the email.
However, I suspect that the only course I have is to send it back and receive another tracker in return (as I am still under the original warranty).
As I believe that it's the firmware that is the issue I doubt that I'll have much luck with a further replacement. I understand that the Blaze unit is discontinued, yet it is immensely disappointing that the latest firmware for the trackers is essentially destroying them straight out of the box. Is there any way that we can have the previous firmware rolled back, or a final update so Blaze users can use their trackers to their natural hardware end?

Still waiting for a response to this, as new units won't fix the issue.

@Seph1 I joined a community developer discord channel (discord is a messaging app, similar to "Slack") and it sounds like if the product is discontinued, there are hardly any developers working on it. Best not to hold your breath for a solution.
