Versa 3 is unresponsive

[angieJ1972]

I ran the latest update just over 48 hours ago. Charged watch to full charge later that day. Noticed at the end of the day watch was dead and completely unresponsive, no vibrations no red blinking lights. Tried charging it an immediately noticed it wasn’t responding, left it on charger for over 24 hours and still nothing. Tried holding power “button” to restart, still nothing.  My Versa 3 is now completely dead. I haven’t even owned for 2 years. This is so disappointing. Is there a fix for this Fitbit?

Hi there, @angieJ1972. Thanks for stopping by in the Community Forums and trying to troubleshoot the issue with your Versa 3 before reaching out. I understand how you must be feeling. 

If you haven't done so yet, I'd suggest trying the following steps:

• Clean the charging contacts on the back of your device and the pins on your charging cable using the instructions in How do I clean my Fitbit device?
• If the error "insufficient power source" appears on your device's screen, remove other devices plugged in to your power source, or plug your device in to another source.
• Try a different USB port or a UL-certified wall charger.
• Check the alignment and try reconnecting your device to the charging cable. For more information, see How do I charge my Fitbit device?
• Restart your Fitbit once again. For more information, see How do I restart my Fitbit device?
  
  

If the above doesn't work, I recommend performing a factory reset on your Versa 3:

1. Don’t plug the Fitbit device into the charging cable. 
2. Press and hold the button for about 8 seconds until the screen turns off. 
3. After the screen turns off, you’ll feel a short vibration:
   1. When you feel the vibration, release the button and immediately press and hold the button again.
   2. Wait until the blue logo appears, then disappears:
      1. Immediately release the button and then immediately press and hold it .again, until you feel a vibration.
      2. After you feel the vibration, release the button. 
         • This vibration indicates you started the factory reset. 
         • After the Fitbit logo appears, the Fitbit device shows the image with the phone icon and setup indicator. Now you can set up you Fitbit device. To do so, see How do I set up my Fitbit device? 

Take into consideration that a factory reset deletes any stored data, which includes all data that hasn't synced to your Fitbit account, your applications, alarms, etc.

None of these troubleshooting tips works. The Versa 3 is completely
unresponsive and will not turn on. There are no vibrations, no blinking
lights etc.
My Versa 3 worked fine prior to running the last Update.
