Charge 3 has grey and white lines on screen

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

My Charge 3 has started showing white and grey vertical lines on the screen. I've followed other peoples advices and changed the clock face, a short restart, long restart, deleted from app and re-sync and nothing has worked. I love using my Fitbit and it's used daily! So upset that this has happened and I can't fix it.

Can someone advise me as what to do next please.

@Rainyday74 Thank you for joining the thread and sharing that you're experiencing the same issue with your device. I totally understand how you are feeling and I am here to help. I recommend doing the following:

 

  1. Restart the device: How do I restart my Fitbit device?
  2. Change a clock face: How do I change the clock face on my Fitbit device?
  3. Long restart:  
  • Connect the device to the charging cable.
  • While the device is plugged into the charging cable, press and hold the button down for 15 seconds.
  • The device turns on and shows a battery icon. Two vibrations occur: first a short vibration, then a medium vibration
  • The device turns off.
  • The device turns on and shows a progress bar and short vibrations occur. The progress bar completes. Note: A total of 7 short vibrations occur.
  • Remove the device from the charging cable. The device shuts down.
  • Important: Plug the device into the charging cable again.

Keep me posted on the outcome. I'll be around if you have any additional questions.

Same issue here - started yesterday.  I have tried all the suggestions here but no luck so far.  Lines are still there and the screen is unresponsive at times - will swipe vertically but not horizontally.  Only bought my fitbit in October.   Hope it gets fixed for everyone.

Mine did this to me this morning as well. I’ve tried restarting, changing the clock face, deleting from the app and re-syncing multiple times in the hope of sorting it out on my own. Sadly, it hasn’t fixed it. Could use some help.

Well now the grey and white lines have disappeared. My screen is black. I can’t scroll. It is keeping track of my steps. My replacement is on back order. The best Fitbit could do was offer a discount but not on the upgraded Charge 4. ☹️
