I talked with someone from my fit bit app and they tried everything for an hour and a half, with no luck.  So they sent me a shipping label and will send me a replacement.  Fingers crossed the New one will work.

My fitbit3 only shows the time and heartbeat. Seems to be frozen in that mode. Put it in the charger but doesn’t show it is charging

Had this problem, first it would not charge over 74%, then died in a few hours. Then It would not recharge, even after resetting. I called customer service & they mailed me a new charge 3. Very good customer service!

i recently bought fitbit charge 3 about 3 weeks ago. i have been loving it but today started getting issues. last night when i was looking at the fitbit, it wouldn't let me scroll to the different pages, it just showed me the main screen when it turned on. that issues continued happening through today, it seemed my fitbit was working and tracking steps, but i couldn't see the different pages or read notifications/texts on m fitbit. then today, my fitbit stopped working all together. i figured it was just dead so i plugged it in to charge, and now nothing is happening, it wont turn on, vibrate, or anything. i think it is completely dead, i did nothing wrong, and i hope you can give me a new one for free. kcsmith2424@gmail.com 603-913-4071 -kevin

Hello,

I have tried both the long and short restarts and neither have worked. Black screen, no vibrate and no smiley face. It has been plugged in for 2 hours and tried multiple times (sometimes even longer than suggested) I cannot change the clock face either, as it says it isn't connected.

Where do I go from here?

I called Fitbit support & after going through all the hoops I was sent a new Fitbit charge 3. The customer service rep was great, service was superb!

Call customer service, they are very helpful. We tried everything, but it wouldn’t turn on so they sent me a new one, no problems so far!

Hi Selma I have tried all the ways to restart and if isn't working . I hadn't noticed it hasn't been synced for a couple of weeks . It went off 2 days ago . Tried to reset by the 8 sec and 15 sec ways . Get the white line it partially loads then smiley face then nothing . My iPhone can't find it and says it's not switched on. Only had this Fitbit since Mid January . What do I do next ? Can't call support team I live in U.K. Live chat not letting me on and no email address to contact 

thanks

I've tried all of the suggestions on the thread for restarting my Fitbit charge 3, but I still have a black screen when I take it off the charger.

Hi,

Just bought a Charge 3 last night.  My iPhone reads the fit bit so during set up it even takes me to put in the pass code but the screen is blank.  I get a smiley face but after that, just a blank screen.  Any suggestions?  Thank you

I had to have a new one under warranty but to be fair I had been using it a few months before it stopped working

Having an issue which started yesterday, Fitbit seemed to be ok then I noticed needed charging so plugged it in. Came back 3 hours later it hadn’t charged and seemed as though it was dead completely. But now won’t turn on or do anything. It makes the occasional single vibrating noise but completely nothing on screen. I don’t wear Fitbit in water either. I’m confused as to what’s up with it to be honest . Can someone help.
