Charge 4 went dark, vibrating only. Phone app doesn't "see" it anymore. Reboot doesn't fix it.

Pretty much what the title says. The tracker was extremely lightly used since we bought it. One morning my phone stopped connecting to it (it was on my wrist). When I checked the device, the screen would not show even though a continuous vibration was present while the side button was being pressed.

Followed the "full reboot" instructions and I do see a quick smiley face, but the screen goes dark and the device never fully boots. 

Phone doesn't see it anymore.

Compared the boot smiley face to another Charge 4 we have and the smiley face stays on much longer on the healthy one. So I think it's a boot-up ussue.

I saw all the other threads with massive number of people experiencing the sudden death of their Charge 4s. I have not much hope, but I am technical - if Customer Service or Tech Support have a way of debugging the issue or resetting the firmware, please chime

Same thing happened to me today. Screen is totally dark. When I try to charge it, nothing happens. If I squeeze the charger to the sides of the Fitbit, I hear the humming vibration sound, get a quick smiley face, then total darkness again. No info shows up on my iPhone or iPad Fitbit app. Help!
