Charge 5 - Black screen with a green line

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

To say I’m disappointed with this reputable product name is understated. I loved this watch, up till now. We have tried all the troubleshooting hints to no avail. My screen is black, with an occasional green line, or as I have seen it described, as the screen of death. How do I go about getting a replacement please Fitbit. I bought this from one of your online suppliers “Digital River” and I would like a response please, in my favour. 
With thanks

Good morning

Can you please advise me, on how to replace my faulty Fitbit Charge 5.
I feel so lost without it, and I miss it.
I have tried doing everything to get it going again as suggested on google and the Fitbit community page.

I would appreciate a reply, to acknowledge this email, and I would love a new watch, to replace my little best friend.

With thanks

Update on my experience with Fitbit, I did get a fast contact email asking how they can help, and the end result is a replacement, which I now just need to follow the instructions on getting a courier to come and pick my faulty watch at no expense to me. I am very happy with the response and actions so far. I look forward to having my friend again on my wrist. Thanking you Fitbit
