Versa screen went black.

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

I have had my versa for about 2 years. Never had any issues. A few days ago I woke up and the screen was black. It still syncs. Still counts steps etc... But no screen. I have tried the 3 button reset to no avail. Nothing happens. No Fitbit logo, not vibration. Nothing.  I tried letting the battery run out and recharged it. Sometimes I can see the backlight come on, and the green light in the back flashes just like normal. I have read through some others but have not seen any other suggestions besides the 3 button reset. Any other ideas?

There needs to be a recall.

 

This is a common issue and @FitBit won't fix it.  So frustrating when it's a BIG issue!

This happened to me 6 months ago and they replaced it. I'm now waiting for another replacement because the screen corrupted and now has a line on the right hand side. After having Fitbits for the last 5 years (Alta then the Blaze, both still going strong) this is the only one I've had problems with. They know there's a problem with them which is why they're so quick to replace them. Bad design

My Versa 2 was working fine when I went to bed last night.  This morning my alarm failed to go off on my watch and the screen is black. It won’t sync and the reset is not working.  My screen is stuck on the FitBit logo. I’ve only had it since September 8th. Very disappointing. 

Best Answer

I’m having this same issue too!

Best Answer

I am having the issue of a Black screen and reset does not work either.  It is about 6 months to day when I received this watch.  Was working perfectly fine yesterday and now will not charge or reset or do anything.  I put in ticket and it may take up to 7 days for customer service to respond.  Disappointing.

I have had the exact same problem. Please help!

I’m having the same issues this week. I’ve also not been able to troubleshoot successfully. I’m at my 2 year mark from purchase as well. Please help.
