It has died and won’t turn back on.

It has died and won’t turn back on. My Fitbit iconic has died. It had at least 70% charge. It went over night, and I’ve tried charging it, and forcing a restart. No good. It’s completely lifeless.

My Ionic stopped working, I thought the battery was dead. I put it on the charger and it didn’t do anything all day. I found the link below and used the restart instructions and that worked.

"I have a similar situation. My Fitbit Ionic has been nothing but trouble ! For the first few months, I struggled to get music on it - the first reason I had got this, was to have onboard music, during the routines. I was so demotivated, even gave up on wearing it. To put songs, you had to have a certain version of Windows and even then it wasn't so easy.

I managed to get it working, Fitbit even introduced Spotify, but for that they needed a year long subscription. I already have Amazon music, why should I spend on another app?

The straps are so difficult to find.

Then they come up with a firmware upgrade and my email/phone stopped syncing. That was still fine, but I did a factory reset via the watch and not the 3 buttons and NOW THE WATCH WON'T POWER ON AT ALL.

I have owned this for 18 +months and it has been an absolute waste."

"Hey guys, If you let tky fit bit go complete flat it won't recognise the charging cable went connected. I have found heating the unit up give the battery the needed charge in the battery to recognise the charging cable.

I did this hy leaving it in the sun for 10min , then holding down the 3 buttons ,turning it on and connecting the charge cable

Cheers

My wife’s Ionic has the same problem. We fixed it by purchasing a Garmin instead. 1-1/2 years is much too soon for failure of a device allegedly designed for sport.
