Versa 2 not switching on. Been on charge over 24 hours and have tried holding back and bottom button. Also held all 3 buttons and nothing

A versa 2 only has one button so you must have a Versa
Seems like this is a common issue recently. Possibly due to a recent update, as it was working before.
In which case its probably best to inform Fitbit Support directly. They may be able to help you.
But try this first
To see what's happening with the charge
Connect the charge cable to the watch and plug it into a PC USB port
The PC should announce a connected device with a sound, it means its connected and charging [if there is no sound, either the volume on the PC is low, or off, or the watch is not properly connected to the charger]
if the PC then announces a disconnected device with another sound, it means the watch battery is either flat or the watch is dead
anyway wait 10 minutes [for battery to get to 5%] if the watch or battery is not dead it will announce device connected again [the watch may also wake up]
if after an hour there is nothing on the watch face try starting it by pressing a button for a few seconds and waiting for the logo to appear or restarting with the buttons
if nothing comes on the screen, either there is a screen or button fault or the watch is dead - but wait
Check the button start procedure, to make sure you are actioning it properly, and that the button clicks |
