Versa won't charge

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

Versa died so put it on to charge like normal but hasn't done anything. Cleaned charger points, tried in different plugs etc, put a band around versa and charger to ensure points have contact. When pressing all 3 buttons the empty battery picture shows. Can anyone help please? It's about 20 months old but I would still expect to last longer than this.

Hi there @Loobymc, welcome to the Community Forums. Thanks for the details provided in your post about your Versa's recent behavior. I appreciate you've 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 these suggestions: 

  1. Check in the Fitbit app if your Versa is still syncing, if so, try changing the clock face to a different one by following these steps: How do I change the clock face on my Fitbit device?. The steps are done through the Fitbit app, do not worry if you cannot see anything on the screen for this process. 
  2. Please confirm if you've restarted your watch by following the steps from this help article: How do I restart my Fitbit device?

If the suggestions don't work, I'd like to know if your watch vibrates when you connect it to the charger? If not, please confirmed that you troubleshooted your watch as described below:

  • 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 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. When the device successfully resets, please use the normal out of the box process of updating the firmware. You can check: How do I update my Fitbit device? for more details. 

Take in 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.
