Charge 4 blank screen

The screen on my charge 4 has gone black. I´ve tried to reset it using the charger but after the smiley face turns up the screen goes black again. 
In one thread I found the suggestion was that I removed the charge 4 from the Fitbit app and my phone and tried to recennect them again. That works fine until I´m supposed to enter the four digit number in the app that shows up on the fitbit´s screen because I can´t se the numbers on the screen.
Stupid me didn´t try the solution that works for some people, change the clock face in the ap and then change it back again to get a bright screen. But now everything is black and fitbit is basically ´bricked´.

 

Update: I should add that when the fitbit is in the charger and I press the button it basically vibrates all the time.

That is great news!  I’ll keep my fingers crossed that it is a new one, I know that here in the US they only have refurbished. If they gave you a mailing label, take a picture of it for your records so you can track its progress. Here in the US it is taking 4 weeks or longer for some to get to the warehouse and another 2-4 for the new one to shop.  I hope in your part of the world it is faster!  It is nice to have a happy ending!

Thank you for the reply, I have tried that, like I said, I’ve basically tried anything possible/recommended but this has been like it a year now and I’ve seen no improvement 

 

Update: Awww that’s good news!

@CAL33 Welcome on board. Please restart your Charge 4 as suggested here How do I restart my Fitbit device? If the restart doesn't work try to change your clock face. If this fixes the issue, you can change your clock face back to the original clock face.

I have exact the same problem as Kanneman. Black screen, vibrating continuously. After chatting with customer service, they promised I would get a new charge 4 (not a refurbished device!). It arrived yesterday. So i charged it, and today i wanted to connect it to my account. But this one also had a Black screen!!! So i can't even see the code!! How f××× is this? I want my money back. This is my 4rd malfunctioning fitbit!!

Update: i have been trying to contact support for one week now. Email is not possible anymore, live chat is not available, or stops in the middle of the conversation. I am very very disappointed. And stuck with a dead device one week before training camp....

Hi there,

‘Glad’ to see we’re on the same page! Honestly, I must have been trying to contact them for about a year now, it’s ridiculous! The structure of my Fitbit is now broken as well so I am left with an unwearable Fitbit with a non functioning screen, I get that things can be faulty but it’s the contact and customer services I’m annoyed at, especially when mine is still under warranty
