Reset Charge 3 with Black Screen

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

My C3 has black screen that I've not been able to fix. I want to trade it in and get a new device. How can I reset my device from the app only? If I could see the screen I know I could reset it on the device but that's not an option.

Welcome to the Fitbit Community, @SprGPa.

 

I'm sorry to hear about the difficulties you experienced with your Fitbit Charge 3. Thank you for the information provided.

 

In this case, I would recommend restarting your Tracker. In addition, you can perform a long restart:

 

  1. Connect the device to the charging cable. 
  2. While the device is plugged into the charging cable, press and hold the button down for 15 seconds. 
  3. The device turns on and shows a battery icon. Two vibrations occur: first a short vibration, then a medium vibration. 
  4. The device turns off.
  5. 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. 
  6. Remove the device from the charging cable. The device shuts down.
  7. Important: Plug the device into the charging cable again. 

 

In addition, you can try to change the clock face:

 

  • From the Today tab EdsonFitbit_0-1652056708341.png in the Fitbit app, tap your profile picture > Charge 3 tile.
  • Tap Clock Faces.
  • Browse the available clock faces. Tap a clock face to see a detailed view.
  • Tap Install to add the clock face to Charge 3.

 

Hope this helps.

I've tried all of these, multiple times. I've given up and just want to clear the data so I can get rid of it. I need to to this on the app because the screen is black.
