This morning my Fitbit started blinking and flashing. I couldn’t read it or scroll.

 

i tried to do a reset. It shut down and will not restart. I have tried everything I found searching for troubleshooting info. 

your guidance is greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the Fitbit Community, @LisaSol2020.

 

I am sorry to hear your Charge 3 stopped working. Thanks for trying to resolve this, I appreciate the additional details and I am here to help. I would like to confirm if you've tried 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.

Looking forward to hearing back from you.

Nope. Completely dead. So frustrating. I am a stroke survivor and use it to track my exercise and sleep.
