The screen has gone blank. Tried to do a force restart. It vibrated each time I pressed the button on the charging cable but the screen is still blank.

@Miss_Fern Welcome to the Fitbit community!

Sad to hear that your Charge 5 isn't working properly. Please make sure that you've tried to restart it following these instructions:

 

1.) Connect your Charge 5 to the charging cable which has to be connected to a power source.

2.) Press the button located on the flat end of the charger 3 times within 8 seconds, holding each press for about 1 second(!).

3.) Wait around 10 seconds to see if the Fitbit logo appears.

 

If this doesn't solve the issue, please contact Fitbit support to get further assistance:
