Charge 5 has suddenly stopped working, wont charge or reset

Charge 5 has suddenly stopped working. It was about 75% charged this morning, and then the screen has just gone completely black. It has become unconnected to app via Bluetooth to the app also. I have tried to charge it and reset via the button on the charging cable, pressing 3 times, 1 second between presses. This has had no effect on it resetting or restarting. Whilst connected to the charging cable it continuously beeps/buzzes too. Only pressing the button stops the bleeping/buzzing. I have tried another charging cable but this has the same results - it won’t start, reset or charge. Please fix or replace?

Yes, no one from Fitbit/Google will actually say it has died. They, the fitbits appear to have a short life

Same thing happened to me! My charge 5 got to 15% battery i plugged it in and it didnt charge. It eventually died and will not charge. I replaced the charger, tried a different socket, reset it, nothing works its just dead.
