Corrupted display after firmware update

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

After my update completed, my fitbit ionic booted back up with a white line on one side, and all colors have yellow tone.  Also all the text is not nearly as clear.  I have restarted it, factory reset it, reinstalled the app, changed my clock faces and nothing has changed.  I am using an samsung galaxy s20.  It is still working, but difficult to read the screen.  I am unsure how to post a photo here to show how it looks.

After firmware update my screen went out. Some times I’ll have a split screen but mostly there is nothing.

Also I have noticed that my ionic isn’t looking for a heart rate.

Thanks for your reply and for sharing pictures of your device with me @Ehug.

 

Because the steps from my previous post didn't work, please try our factory reset procedure following the next steps:

 

  1. On the device, hold all three buttons for about 10 to 12 seconds. 
  2. When the Fitbit logo disappears, quickly release the bottom right button, continuing to hold down the left and top right buttons (releasing the bottom right button as soon as the logo disappears is time sensitive). 
  3. When the device vibrates, release all buttons. 
  4. Wait for approximately 1-2 minutes while the device clears all data. Eventually, the Fitbit logo appears and the device boots and displays Fitbit.com/setup.
  5. When the device successfully resets, please use the normal out of the box process of updating the firmware. You can check: How do I update my Fitbit device? for more details. 

 

Take in consideration that a factory reset deletes any stored data, which includes all data that hasn't synced to your Fitbit account and your applications, alarms, etc. 

 

I'll be here ready to help you if necessary.
