I went surfing with my charge 5. I turned on the water lock but when I came in it wasn't turning on. I left it to dry and tried charging it but when I plugged it in it started vibrating and then went completely dead. I read it was supposed to be good up to 50 meters, but it wasn't even submerged past 1 meter. Is this covered under warranty?

Hi there, @GabrielDugan. Welcome to 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 your Charge 5 is still unresponsive. I understand your concern, I will do my best to help you with this!
If your device got wet, it’s important to take it off and dry it well before putting it back on. On the other hand, if your device has come into contact with any liquid other than fresh water, you should clean it with fresh water and a soap-free cleanser and dry it with a lint free-cloth.
If you've done the above but to no avail, may I know if your Charge 5 vibrated during the restart process? If it didn't, I'd recommend trying the steps below:
Regarding your inquiry about the warranty, please note that our products are indeed designed and made to last (this goes for each product component) however, there is not an infallible way to ensure that no issues will be present in the long run. Because of this, our Warranty Policy is set into providing as much coverage as we can. For more information about our warranty, see fitbit.com/legal/returns-and-warranty

Hello,
Thank you for the advice and steps. Unfortunately, none of these appear to work and I think the unit is dead.

Sounds like it could be the same thing as this guy:
