Went to charge my fit it as it was low, plugged it in and didn't get the normal vibration, I left it for a few minutes and pushed the button expecting to see it charging.... nothing, took it of charge, cleaned the contacts on the cradle and on the fit bit, as suggested on the forum and plugged it back in to charge. Had on charge overnight, in the morning showed full, by midday, it showed as 4% battery, I had not even looked at the time on it, within 20 minutes it was completely flat, put it back on charge, as I did so I had a smiley face and a vibration, when I took it out of the cradle all I got was a black screen and white lines going across the screen, plugged it into my laptop and got the top part of a battery showing along with white lines, this is less than a year old..... What is my next step?
