As I mentioned in a previous post, I let my battery fully drain for about 3 months and then charged it. It started to work. Your mileage may vary.
Why did it work, I cannot say. I always thought that this was a firmware issue instead of a hardware issue. By why Fitbit working again, I think that proves it. Did the battery going completely dead do some of hard reset, who knows?
Prior to tossing it in the garbage, throw it in a drawer, when you happen upon months and months later, give it a charge and see if it works.
if you are lucky like me, it will. Mine has been working again since mid December.
BTW, my wife want to get our son an activity tracker and said she was thinking about a Fitbit and I said they would never get another dime out of our family due to their poor customer service!
