IMy fitbit charger 5 is frozen on logo. I have soft reset by pushing the button in charging cable. After the 3 pushes the logo disappears but then comes right back on. What else can I do?

Hi there, @Sammydxb. Welcome to the Fitbit Community Forums. 

 

Please note the issue you're having comes from performing a factory reset without first unpairing your Fitbit device from your Fitbit account and phone's Bluetooth settings. With that being said, I suggest following the steps below in the order listed:

 

  • Unpair your Charge 5 from your phone's Bluetooth and also make sure it's no longer connect to your Fitbit app. 
  • Force quit the Fitbit app.
  • Turn off the Bluetooth.
  • Shut off your phone and turn it on after 1-2 minutes.
  • Turn on the Bluetooth.
  • Set up your Charge 5 again.
  • If there is no connection, restart your Charge 5.

 

If you can't get started with your Charge 5, usually a missing requirement is the cause. Carefully review the requirements provided in the help article Why can't I set up my Fitbit device? 

 

If you continue having difficulties to update your Fitbit device, see Why can't I update my Fitbit device?

Unfortunately, this is not the case for my Charge 5.  On 11 April device froze with logo only showing as mentioned by GranDaudandray.  I've completed the several troubleshooting recommendations/resets with no success.
