Is there anything I can do for my Fitbit that went through a laundry load in error?  Screen is black, and not responding - there is still power (green lights flashing).

Hello @59joy 

Yikes The Fitbit Inspire 2 isn't entirely waterproof, but it is water-resistant to 50 meters or 164 feet. You can wear it to track a swim workout but swimming in the washing machine is most certainly not a great idea. I’m really sorry this happened to ya. Since the green light is flashing (surprisingly) I suppose you can try restarting the Inspire 2. It certainly wouldn’t hurt. Just press and hold down the button on theInspire 2 until you see the Fitbit Logo. When the logo appears release the button. Hopefully you will feel the Fitbit Vibrate telling you it has restarted. If a restart doesn’t work don’t be afraid to try a restart several time. I’d try at least three attempts. 
😃 I’m crossing my fingers this works! Let me know

@59joy sometimes with electronic devices,  if you put them in uncooked rice for a couple of days, that will draw out the moisture. I would give that a try.
