fitbit ionic Will not Start.

Was working fine, 70% battery then the next morning I could not get it to turn on. Left it charging for a day, then tried to charge via the computer, cleaned the contacts, etc. Watch is about 9 months old. From what I am reading this is a common problem and basically you are out of luck. Can anyone suggest something? I have tried holding down the power button, and every combination I can think off.

I am not sure it is that common a problem, @holyduke. I have had my Ionic since they were first released, and have not had any problems with it.  But, if you have had it only 9 months, not sure what you mean that "you are out of luck"? Your device should have a 1-year warranty.  Have you contacted Fitbit Support to see if they can help resolve this issue?

I will contact support and see if they will honor the warranty. By the looks of all the post about this watch, things are not well for the Fitbit Ionic.

Thank you USAF-Larry

@holyduke, it is true that you will see a lot of posts of problems, but typically users only post negative comments.  So, the number of negative posts will significantly outnumber the positive posts.
