Fitbit Inspire 2 / HR: Black Screen, Blank Display or Screen Won't Turn On? Try this First!

[@ryanmckenzie3311]

Thanks. This worked for me. Multiple attempts while plugged into charger. Maybe 10+ times. Also did it while unplugged. Also changed clock face. Some combination of all of this worked. Much better than the comments on the fitbit community forums.

[@kathyboyce3812]

Is there any remedy a dim screen that when it’s off it is almost invisible to see in a well lit area

[@sableward1319]

The first fix worked! I went through 2 other fix videos that didn’t help, but This Fix WORKS!!! Thanks!!!

[@Mrs_V_Patel]

Thank you so much, I thought my Fitbit was broken, but it’s working now. 👍

[@JK-dk7en]

Helpful, but not fixed quite yet. Got smiley face to appear, but then screen went dark again, not displaying clock or anything. Will try your other methods. Thanks!

[@karenlynn3299]

OMG thank you so much! I only got my Fitbit 2 weeks ago so still learning how to use it. The screen went black after I water locked it. Wouldn’t turn back on. Just changing the clock face activated the screen again. Thanks again!!

[@gdsstudio974]

Same here. Kept mine dry for some time until I learned you can get it wet. That's when the screen touch stopped working, then it went blank. Hope this trick works.

[@TopGiffa]

ME TO I TURNED IT ON CAUSE I WAS STUPID AND IT WOULDNT TURN ON

[@dadandladssports]

Same here

[@MrJagman123]

Inspire 2 black screen after update. Followed your steps and came back to life. Thanks

[@marilynplitz5590]

your first step( changing clock face) got the screen up and running. I do not, however have the flashing green light on the underside of my fitbit Inspire 2..and I can no longer get a HR from it. Steps are my main goal. Thank you

[@nadinaswagel1917]

Excellent advice! I appreciated that you demonstrated it can require long, multiple taps.

[@juliegroves4210]

Thanks. My watch is less than a year old and never had any problems with it. But over the last month my screen has gone black twice and wouldn’t work. Putting it into the charger and holding for 5 seconds worked the first time but didn’t the next time so changed the clock face in the app and it is now working again. 😀

[@Moochohho]

Thank you, fixed first time on the clock face change. Legend.

[@eishasliju105]

Thank you so much. this video helped me alot since i tapped crazy my fitbit started working thankyou.

[@dawndoherty3381]

I tried holding the buttons so .any times and nothing. Tried the tapping thing thinking it was mad and it only went and worked! Thank you

[@catherinecharron9297]

I did the tap tap tap approach first. Worked beautifully. Thank you!

[@losingitslowly]

Thanks. The clock face tip worked. This is the worst fitbit I have ever had. Have this issue several times a month and I've only had this one since early this year.

[@Coast-a1ong]

Thank you so much, Savvy Tech guy! My Fitbit inspire 2 got a display when I charged it up and kept squeezing the sides until I got a smiley face.

[@TopGiffa]

I water locked and this HELPED THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@shannonmonetbefreetv618]

Thank you so much! I had to hit mine like crazy lol. After that, I plugged it into the computer and pressed and held it until I saw the smiley face and it came right on. I like this Fitbit and I was worried that I was gonna need another one. Works fine now

[@impfisch6955]

Thank you, first solution worked for me. Thought my fit bit is broken, but you saved the day.

[@kimberlykyle6451]

Thank you so much the clock needed an update. Worked perfect ❤

[@robbiestockton1210]

Thank You!! Worked like a charm, resetting the clock face solved the problem for me.

[@icebabe00]

[@lizzytreks696]

Change clock screen brought it back! Thank you !!that was easy.( I thought i had to get a new one)

[@rosagonzalez4038]

Thank you. I tap hard on the screen and it works!!! Is back to normal!!!

[@amberl4773]

My fitbit screen had been staying mostly black for s couple weeks. Before giving up on it completely I decided to turn to Google and stumbled across this video. A combination of the charger/smiley face and tapping the hell out of all the sides of it is what worked for me. Hopefully this thing will last me a while longer.

[@user-yb8uq6th1y]

Thank you! Worked like a charm for my Inspire 2.

[@7merri937]

Thank you so very much !!! Your video saved time and my Fitbit is now working again !!

[@barbaraking2330]

Thanks for the help, Your second set of instructions worked 👍

[@rashmirao1869]

Thanks a lot, It started working now after pressing it for long time while charging. I thought it is broken and that I have to get a new one. Many many thanks...:)

[@taradunbar3458]

A combination of all of the suggestions fixed mine. Thanks!

[@loomis1963]

Thank you! It worked by changing the clock!!! Much appreciated!

[@barbaravarhol5646]

Thank you. It worked after I plugged it into my computer and then held the sides until the smiley face came on, held a bit longer until the time came on.

[@mosings]

Thank you so much! My Fitbit was black for like 2 weeks and this did the trick!

[@AmaniPeace]

Thank u so much for a while there I thought I would have to buy a new one

[@khalidgolfswing]

Thanks to you i managed to fix my black screen 😊

[@kkaingbwa]

Thank you very much. Now my fitbit inspire hr is working. 🙏🙏🙏

[@sudhaprasanna04]

Thankyou, tapping helped me and mine is working now😊🙏

[@deborahdavidson7119]

Thanks for the advice. Got the main face up, but it’s not vibrating when I press the sides, which brings up the other menus? Also the green light is not flashing but solid? Fitbit is only 10 months old, should I take it back?

[@Bbhehe]

You fixed my watch! I love you :D

[@avalon1163]

Quick, clear and easy to follow. Superstar. Many thanks 🙂

[@amitpatankar2978]

[@lany_07gaming]

Nice info as always for the Fitbit inspire 2 users.👍

[@rebeccalawson4332]

I tried everything you said and can feel you laughing at me while I tap tap tap on this piece of $#!* . Even after displaying the smiley face it still has a black screen.It's not even a year old. The whole fiasco started a week ago when the lighted clock would not go off. I had to take it off at night and put in a drawer because it was lighting up the room. Now its black all the time. HELP!

[@that-studio-guy3489]

Bro same here Goodluck with getting urs goin

[@cathmcgrigor6779]

Yep. The screen died a couple of months ago. I have tapped and get a smiley face and then... Nada. Did it again heaps of times. Less than a year old. Wth!?

[@that-studio-guy3489]

@@cathmcgrigor6779 I had figured out the issue. After contacting fitbit support I noticed when doing the steps the fitbit support wanted me to do I noticed condensation inside the sensor. The person helping me asked where I had bought the fitbit but I wasn't sure because I got it for Christmas. So instead of replacing it he have me a 35% off coupon to buy a new one. Hope this helped.

[@jessicatownley8915]

Changed clock and now my screen is back. Thanks so much🙃

[@onebrytesmile6525]

Thank you so much. I could not get my inspire 2 to come on and switching clock face did the trick.

[@deweydoesit7165]

[@Camdyntran]

Thank you so much the first trick worked!!!😀

[@doloresparra4604]

Genius, step #1! Thank you so very much. Good day.

[@elaine34567]

I will try the clock face on Fitbit app next time. Black screen happened to me once in a while usually in the morning. Most recently I already left my home then realized the black screen and I don't have the charger with me!! After the latest firmware update (like almost 2 years ago?) Black screen becomes a recurring issue on my inspire 2 hr

[@carookennedy829]

Thanks a ton. First option worked and back up and running. 💕

[@skylarleeofficial]

[@Lifeonbooks]

Awesome video. The first trick fixed it for me. Unfortunate that a video like this is necessary. Pretty big design flaw by FitBit, IMO.

[@naturalbluti6823]

Thank you so much it worked! The first way you showed worked like a charm! I wore mine while bathing and it went out on me 🥴

[@elizabethroberts975]

[@carolyngrace9339]

Changing the clock face worked for me. 👍🏻 Easy fix now, but shouldn't happen. Seems like it happens to me when I accidentally hit lock mode, but then I couldn't get it to unlock.

[@salparadise7412]
