Dropped my fitbit on the floor.
I m really surprised that dropping it on the floor would break it.
I have tried reseting it with both the normal and the factory method and nothing.
I m planning to exchange it one time to give fitbit a second chance and assume the one i got was defective.
The screen isn t cracked or anything but it won t turn on also the green lights from the sensors are off.

The moment i took it off to charge it dropped on the floor about 2 feet from my bed a green light blinked and now i have the black screen of death i had attempted 2 button and 3 button resets with no luck.
I tried re setting per directions on website but that didn t work.
