My Fitbit Charge 5 is still working on version 1.188.58 and no option to update to a newer version. 
It’s gone Black Screen in the past week like many others by the looks, but it is still recording data and syncing with the app. 
Does anyone know how to update to a newer firmware version as I’ve tried the other published ‘fixes’ to no avail ? 
This is the last option before changing to another brand. Thanks in advance 🙏🏼

Based on the comments in this post and other posts, the update may not be what you want.

The 194.91 firmware may have been pulled due to issues with battery life and non-responsiveness.
