My screen went black. I tried the hard reset by connecting it to the charger and pressing the button on the cable 3 times, I was able to install an update in the app and change the clock but the screen is still black. Any suggestions on what to do next?

My Charge 5 software updated, and the divice went black soon after.
I contacted Fitbit support, just to be told I’m out of luck. Only suggestions I was given was to buy a new device. They conveniently sent me a link to their online store.
If Fitbit devices fail before two years of life; I would rather go without a device. I’m contemplating giving Garmin a try.

My Charge 5 did the same thing. I reached out to Fitbit and their only suggestion was to buy a new device.
I hope your have better luck finding a solution. My plan is to go respond with my next purchase decision.

Agree with others, your device is done.
Mine has done the same after updating my software. I’ve contacted support three times and been told all the usual garbage they are sprouting - reset, clean the port, reinstall the app etc. None of it works. Just got off the phone from support and they’ve finally agreed the watch is dead and I’m now waiting for an email from the warranty team 🙄

Good luck.
Be ready for Fitbit to suggest your buy a new device.

My device was only 4 months old so they’re going to replace it which I don’t see any point to if the same issue is going to arise.
Frustrated beyond words at this entire situation.

update for my situation
1. I did buy a new device. Garmin Vivosmart 5. For any of you who collect PC optimum points: today is a good day to buy from Shopper's Drug Mart (Canada) The points have more purchase value today.
2. Unlike some others on this formum: my battery is not dead, and in fact, if I wear the tracker, I still get the data in the fitbit app. I updated a clock face and it vibrated when done. I simply have a black screen. So will not toss the device into a landfill in the hopes there may be a magic solution some day.
Le sigh.

Check to make sure these are connected. Look up how to open up your fitbit on youtube.
