I really love my Charge 3! But after the last update I noticed a black line at the top of the screen, I didn’t think to much of it I figured it would go away but it didn’t and today I noticed that 2 more black lines have appeared! 

 

I have restarted my device by holding the button down, the lines are still there. 

 

I ordered the Charge 3 directly from Fitbit!        What can I do????

I'm having the same issue. I've had my device for less than a month. They just appeared a few days ago. At first it was just 2 lines, now its more. They appear at the top. I've tried resetting it but it doesn't work. I'm scared my screen is going to go out. Please help as I love my Fitbit, but sounds like this is a known issue with this model.

Hi, i have just noticed that my Charge 3 has started to show 3 horizontal lines and 1 vertical line.

 

I have rebooted the device several times and followed other instructions as well. However, the lines still do not go away.

I am here with the same problem. Last night I saw a line, this morning there were two already. I"ve tried the long restart, the reboot, to change the clock screen and nothing helped. Very disappointing,

I am having the same issue as the rest on this issue. I started off with one line across the top and this morning I have 5 lines going through. I have reset my Fitbit numerous times and changed clock. It doesn’t help. Is there anything else I can try?
