Right side of Charge 3 display turning brown

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

While this issue doesn't affect functionality as of yet, it is a bit distracting and worrying. The rightmost line of pixels on my Charge 3 display have a distinctly brown tint to them now. Anything that normally shows up as white along the 3-4 columns of pixels closest to the right side of the screen appear this way. It's not really noticeable when just viewing the regular clock face, but when swiping around in the menus it is extremely obvious. Has anyone else seen something like this happen? (I've seen the other posts about lines and missing pixels, but this isn't quite the same.)

Hello there @DarthWoo, it's nice to see you around. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. 

So that we may better assist you, could you please send me a photo showing how your Charge 3 display look? 

In the meantime, I suggest to restart your Charge 3 by following the steps in the article: How do I restart my Fitbit device? 

I'm looking forward to your response, keep me posted.

The effect is considerably more pronounced than it appears to be in the photo. My phone camera doesn't really capture the contrast between the regular white parts of the display and where it has darkened.IMG_20191020_220343.jpg

 

I've reset it via the charger, but that had no effect.

Any updates to this? I have this exact thing on my Charge 3 as well, noticed it today. Any reason behind this? I've only had it for 5 months.

Upper right corner for me. Started about a month ago. It almost looks like I spilled something on the screen, but it doesn't wipe off. 

I've been surprised because I didn't think this fitbit did color - yet I've got a brown corner.

Same issue here.  I am only posting, hoping this will get the ball rolling on another update or response.
