  • I show you how to fix a Fitbit Versa 2 that has a black or blank screen or the display won;t turn on. This should also work for Fitbit 1 and Lite too. Hope this helps.

    May I add another suggestion? If all else fails I found the solution for my Fitbit Versa2.
    Remove the straps and clean both sides of the watch with an old tooth brush. It worked fine for me and it is surprising how dirty the reverse side of the Fitbit gets as well.

    This is my third Versa 2, my first one I never had any issues with but was lost during travel. I replaced and and after a few months it just died. I found your video but it didn’t work. Now the same thing just happened three months in to my third Versa and still not resetting. Was working fine all day and then all the sudden wouldn’t turn on. I’ve been a FitBit user since 2007, but it’s time for me to look for another brand. I wish I had the experience the others that have commented on.
