Versa battery won't charge

[RogMorgen2]

I've had my Versa for almost two years; typically I charge it before it's completely dead but 2 weeks ago was unable to do it. Now the battery won't charge. I've cleaned the contacts on the Versa and the charger with alcohol but no luck. Any suggestions?

Hi there @RogMorgen2, welcome to the Community Forums. Thanks for the details provided in your post about the difficulties you've been having to charger your Versa. I appreciate you've already taken the time to troubleshoot your watch prior to posting here, I'll be glad to continue assisting you.

If you haven't done so yet, please try the suggestions below:

• 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 steps don't work, at this point I recommend doing a factory reset (before doing so, make sure to remove your watch from your Fitbit account): 

1. On the device, hold all three buttons for about 10 to 12 seconds. 
2. When the Fitbit logo disappears, quickly release the bottom right button, continuing to hold down the left and top right buttons (releasing the bottom right button as soon as the logo disappears is time sensitive). 
3. When the device vibrates, release all buttons. 
4. Wait for approximately 1-2 minutes while the device clears all data. Eventually, the Fitbit logo appears and the device boots and displays Fitbit.com/setup.
5. You can follow the steps to set up the device after that: 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 and your applications, alarms, etc.
