I ran the Sense Firmware update 08/12/22.  By the end of the day on 08/13/22 my fitbit died with plenty of battery, will not turn back on, will not charge, or even recognize the charger.

Hi @Kait.Nick - it is unlikely to resolve it but worth checking all the same, see all the details in this article How to check charge cable - Sense/Versa 3 won't charge, won't start or blank screen

Welcome to the Community, @Kait.Nick. @Guy_ It's good to see you here.

 

@Kait.Nick Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Because the process to update the firmware requires charge, it's okay if the battery drains during or after the process. However, it should work correctly after a full charge. I understand this isn't your case and just to confirm, have you tried these troubleshooting steps? If you have but the issue persists, let me recommend contacting our Support team so they can provide you with further assistance. You can click here to get connected with them via chat or phone.
