My husbands has done exactly the same; screen went crazy, flashing all screens, one age the other, then all battery dead. Charged again then within minutes, dead! Left a couple of days.... charged again... thought was working... screen okay, did a few steps, yep... once again dead! Only had it 18 months, will NOT be buying a new one! 

Mine is just over 2yrs old and now only getting ‘simplified’ sleep details. Once goes bust, again will NOT be buying a new one! You contact them but they’re not really interested. ☹️

Try replacing the battery. Fitbit does not tell you to do that.
