Charge 5 black screen

About a week ago my Charge 5 went black. I’ve tried to restart it by picking the button on the charger as described, and the logo shows, and then it turns black again. It updates, but it doesn’t buzz and it’s totally black. 
I downloaded a new look for it, and it showed the process, but when it was done it just got black again. 
it’s really just over two years old. What’s up? What do I do?

Hi there, @Alexbalex. It's nice to see you around the Fitbit Community Forums. Thanks for bringing this to my attention and for the troubleshooting steps you've tried. I'm sorry to hear that the screen of your Charge 5 is still blank. 

I've seen you contacted our Support Team after posting here and they've already assisted you. If the steps that our team has provided did not work, please feel free to contact them back for further assistance. Since you already have a ticket open with them it'd be easier to continue the follow up on this matter with them directly.
