Peckham, I don't mean to be cheeky but have you read any of this thread? if you had you would have seen the countless examples of dead Fitbits. They just litter this Forum like roadkill rabbits. Plus you will see from most of my posts that what you DON'T DO is Charge the Fitbit overnight.....this will just KILL it....far from saving it it will burn it.
Plus what you don't do is hold down two buttons....just a total waste of time....it just doesn't work. I don't know where you got that solution from but I can tell you it just doesn't work.
What I know is this you have two possible solutions and they are these:-
1. (as Wyoming says) throw it in the trash and buy a Garmin.
2. Leave it for at least two days and at the end of day two, press and hold the three buttons down ( not two but three) and hold them down for at least 5 mins or up to 10 mins until the Fitbit Logo comes up. If that works then you will have to reset it with your Computer and treat it like a brand new Fitbit. I'm not guaranteeing this will work all I'm saying is it worked for me and some others and it just might work for you.
I used to suggest that people go and phone Customer Services and demand that they give them a replacement but that just doesn't seem to work now because the new owners Google, appear to have struck a policy of "we don't care"...you pay your money you take your chances. They have gone from one of the best customer services to the worst (overnight).
What I'm telling you is that if my Fitbit dies one more time ( it has died twice on me)..... it is going into the trash can and I am getting a watch that works and has a customer service that really cares and from what I read the way to go is to get a Garmin....(well so Wyoming has recommended). I really hope my solution works for you
