Hi!

 

i did a factory reset on my full charged Fitbit Versa. It will not turn on and does not light up when I try to put it on the charger. I’ve messed with all the buttons but still no luck. 

Any ideas on how to turn it back on?

Thanks!

Mine did just like that and the helpcenter couldnt figure it out or start it. I got a new one from them and the old one was just trash.

I was having problems with my heart monitor not reading correctly, after several attempts to fix it, I did a factory reset and now it won’t turn on.  This is the second time this year that I’ve had problems with a Versa, and this one was replaced only 6 months ago

I am having the same issue. Is the only solution a new watch? 

Best Answer

Yes I had to get new one. I was able, though, to return the old one. Seems there was issues with them. I’m having issues with new one. But will not try factory reset as they suggested lol.

Lizzy. I have the same problem. Heart rate monitor went crazy for about 12 hours. Did a factory reset and now it’s dead as a dodo. Have tried holding three buttons for up to three minutes and nada. Any suggestions? Love my Fitbit and can’t be without it!

They told me they couldn't help me any further and sent a 25% off of another device. Screw that. Why would I want to purchase another if this one went out so fast and they wouldn't replace it...hahaha nice try Fitbit!
