Like I've seen many people complaining about, I've factory reset my Versa (switching users) and it went blank, and now wont turn on.
I've tried the three button reset, nothing no screen or logo, tried two button restart, snap nothing happening.
If I put it in the dock, and plug into the PC, then Windows detects the watch, and it then disconnects, then reconects then disconects... over and over.... so looks like it's in a boot loop.
Now I know it's not a new device, but doing something that's SUPPORTED and not against the warranty etc should not KILL a perfectly good and working device (or it was before factory resseting)
Fitbit, what do I do now, I'm assuming the firmware has become corrupt, and there seems no way of forcing a firmware reload from the PC software at all? Surely there must be some recovery software to reload the firmware?

Hi there @charlas, welcome to the Community Forums. I'm sorry to hear about your Versa's recent behavior. We acknowledge the limitation we have on our part particularly on what you have experienced. We‘re taking into consideration your comments and sentiments with regards to our products and services.
Please note that our main purpose is to avoid negative experiences to our customers, we're always willing to help and provide troubleshooting steps. Then, if the tracker is deemed defective we review eligibility using the one year warranty option.
Our products are indeed designed and made to last (this goes for each product component) however, there is not an infallible way to ensure that no issues will be present in the long run. Because of this, our Warranty Policy is set into providing as much coverage as we can.
Regarding the issue you're experiencing after the factory reset, I was wondering if you felt any kind of vibration when performing either the restart or factory reset? If you didn't, please try the steps below:
If the above steps don't work, at this point I recommend doing a manual factory reset with the steps below:
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, your applications, alarms, etc.
I'm looking forward to your response, keep me posted.

Tried all those options, three button reset like I mentioned initially does nothing, left plus bottom does nothing, no lights on the rear, and no vibrations even when in the charger.
I've got a case open for it now as the device is most definitely boot looping as I can see the USB device code announce, then a port reset every se ond if plugging into a pc and sniffing the USB bus.

Likewise, as its a pitty, device isn't that old, seems strange to be bootlooping just from a factory reset
