charge 3 died, no connection, no screen, vibrates only when plugged in

Hello,

My fitbit had ~15% battery level before I started to swim in the pool.

After ~20mins I saw it stopped to work.

I backed home and cleaned cable and watch, then tried to charge it.

Now It just vibrates when I click on the button while charging, nothing else - no connection with app, no lights, black screen etc.

I left it to charge but I am not sure this will help.

The fact that you say it failed after/during swimming suggests that you think water might have got in. If so rather than charge it it might be better to try drying it: put it in a sealed jar of bag of dessicant (silica gel, or if you don't have that uncooked rice or cous cous) to draw the moisture out and leave it for a couple of days. 

Have you swum with it before? I know they are supposed to be designed for it, but perhaps there was a manufacturing defect in the sealing. Or has it suffered any damage that might compromise watertightness?

Yes I used it in swimming 3days ago, everything was ok. Not sure about the reason.

Thanks for advice I will try..
