I washed my Fitbit one. I've tried plugging it in (charging) and holding down the button for 10-15 sec then unplugging and pushing the button and still nothing. Anyone have any other suggestions or should I just kiss this one goodbye.

You should not of tried to charge it before drying it out. It might be gone.  But put it in a bowl of rice for a few days to dry it out. Hopefully it will come back

I did let it dry out first. Didn't do the rice out let it dry out for like over a week before I tried to charge it

It might be worth going through that restart procedure a couple more times as it's known to not always work. 

 

Other than that it's probably time for that kiss goodbye.

Welcome to the Fitbit Community @Tinker410 Smiley Happy. I would try the rice trick even if you've already tried it. After this restart your device a couple times like @SteveH mentioned.

Keep me posted.
