I accidently ran my fitbit one through the washing machine.  Is there a way to salvage it?

Hi @jldoornbos 

 

Put the One into a dry bowl of rice for at least 48 hours. After that time, recharge it and do a restart. If that doesn't work, it may have died. There are many new styles of Fitbits that have been released over the past few months that you may want to look at. The One was retired. Let us know what happens. Hoping for the best.

I've put my fitbit one in rice and charged it.  I don't remember how to restart it.  How do I do that? 
Thanks,Judy

I love happy news like this! Thanks for letting us know. I never had a One. Sure sounds like they were/are hard working devices!
