Mine was doing the black screen this morning. You'll have to manually hard reboot it by plugging it to the charger. On the other end of the charger, there's a small button. You click this button 3 times, making sure to wait 1 second after each click, to "wake" up your device. If nothing happens the first try, you may have to do it a couple more times. 😐
P.S. since I forgot to specify that when you plug your fitbit to the charging cord, that it's also plugged in the wall/power source as if to charge.
I did this for 45 minutes and my Fitbit Charge 5 is back and seems to be working, pairing with my phone is still not stable, though.
I hope this works for you.

Thx. But my fitbit 5 doesn't have any buttons anywhere that i can find 🥴🥴

The button is on the charger by where u plug it in. Not on the part that attaches to the device.

Mine died too after less than 6 months! I’ve had so many Fitbit devices fail that I’ve lost count! ☹️ time to switch to 🍎

Same, mine has been fine for a year then yesterday it just went black. I managed to revive it after hours of being on charge but the battery is tanking.
It's gone from 100% to 28% in 40 minutes. The battery used to last a week before yesterday.
I don't know if there was an update yesterday maybe? I'm running version 20001.188.58

So there was a technical issue and this morning (europe) it should be solved. Well no blanc screen anymore, but all my apps crashed and didn’t react on the hard reset. . After contacting customer service I receive a new one. This is exactly why I like fitbit more then others. No discussion, just doing what is right in the Guarantee Period.

I have exactly the same.

Thats nice for you. When my last fitbit died they offered me a discount on a new one. I just read another commenter who was offered a discount due to this exact problem with his Charge 5. If several people are having the same problem...that's a product problem that needs to be rectified, with a FREE replacement device, not a discount. I'm on my 4th fitbit in about 7 years.
