@grntlltt Because your post didn't mention, may I know if you've tried restarting your tracker as well as changing the clock face? These steps have helped other members, so please given them a try and monitor your tracker's behavior afterward.

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.

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

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.
