Welcome to the Fitbit Community, @sonofalbert.

I appreciate your participation in the Forums and sharing that your Ionic screen has gone blank. Thank you for providing the additional details, I understand how you are feeling and I am here to help. I recommend trying the following:

  1. Restart the device: How do I restart my Fitbit device?
  2. Change a clock face: How do I change the clock face on my Fitbit device?

Let me know how it goes.

Unfortunately, following the instructions from the links provided has not brought me any closer to a satisfactory outcome.  Fitbit is charging ok, records steps, sleep etc and vibrates as normal.  Nothing on screen though.

Welcome to the Fitbit Community, @ColinIngramm. Thank you for your reply, @sonofalbert.

@ColinIngramm Thank you for joining the thread and sharing that you're experiencing the same issue with your watch. I recommend following the instructions shared in this thread and keep me posted on the outcome. 

@sonofalbert I am sorry to hear the issue persists, thank you for your efforts. I recommend doing a factory reset. This procedure deletes any stored data, which includes all data that hasn't synced to your Fitbit account and your alarms, goals, notifications, music, and everything that is stored on it. After a factory reset you must set up your watch again. The steps are:

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.

Let me know how it goes.
