Hi my charger 3 was first missing pixels, I restarted it it was fine for a time. Then it wouldn't let me scroll and the screen was white, I tried to a reset and it's didn't work. I did a restart and now the screen will not come on, I can't reconnect.

Any ideas?

Welcome to the Fitbit Community, @pakjrusk.

 

I am sorry to hear your Charge 3 won't turn on and you can't reconnect it to your Fitbit account. Thanks for trying to resolve this and I am here to help. Since you've tried to restart the tracker, I would like to confirm if you've tried doing a 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.
