@Jdriver Welcome to the Fitbit community!

Sad to hear that your Charge 5 isn't working properly. I'd suggest restarting your device by 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 USB plug of the charger 3 times within 8 seconds, holding each press for about 1 second(!).
3.) Wait 10 seconds or until the Fitbit logo appears.

If this doesn't work for you, please contact Fitbit support to get further assistance as your Charge 5 might have technical issues:
