Charge 3 not working

[Cassidy4]

My charge 3 screen randomly would not turn on. I tried to reset it and plug it into the charger but the screen still did not turn on. I tried to reset it by pressing the reset button with a paperclip and all of a sudden it started vibrating non stop. I pluged it back into the charger and tried resetting it again to get it to stop vibrating. now it is completing shut off, the side button isn't vibrating, there is no green light on the button and the screen still isn't turing on. 

I dont know what else to do, please help!

This is the second time a Fitbit that i have owned has done this. getting tired of it.

Hi @Cassidy4  Please, please dont put a pin or paperclip in the hole on the tracker! This is not a reset button! It is the hole for the altimeter to measure floors.

I will flag a moderator to come and help you.

I'm having a similar problem and I did what the original poster did.  What's the next step in fixing it?

[Niccicoleman]

I too am having the same problem. All I have done at this point is put it on the charger and push and hold on the side. Please,  let me know what to do next?

Thanks

My Fitbit do not show anything on the face; it is dark. This happened for some time now. Is it possible to get a replacement?
