Hey all,
So I never had a Fitbit until my sister in law gave me her alta. And I love it! Just recently, she gave me her versa. She couldn't find the charger however. So I bought a highly recommended one off of Amazon. Now, I have it on the charger, but it's just a black screen. So I'm guessing it's completely dead? Another thing, my Alta quit charging, due to the power cord being messed up. So I got another one. And I'm hoping this one does right because I work in a hospital and I love wearing my Fitbit to work. Is the black screen normal if the versa is completely dead?

Welcome to the forums!
Sometimes buying Highly recommended doesn't work. It really needs to be a Fitbit charger. They aren't expensive. It also depends on how long it was not charge for. Did your sister not wear it for a while and not charge it. As it can ruin these types of batteries for good.
See this thread for charging best practices. If you are not charging it correctly you could be damaging the battery
