Fitbit Charge 5: How can I replace the plastic attachment points that lock-in the band?

Sat, 01 Nov 2025 13:21:35 -0700

I broke both of the plastic band locks on the Charge 5 (in an unartful yet forceful band removal - pull and pry). Where can I get replacement parts? There ie nothing now to hold the band in place.

Fitbit Charge 5: Fitbit wont charge but will vibrate

Mon, 04 Aug 2025 19:18:31 -0700

Hi my fitbit charge 5 said critically low battery. But when i tried to charge it would not charge. I changed the charger and still no go. The green lights in back will not even light up, but it does vibrate when the charger is put on and off. I tried resetting, cleaning the contacts etc. It also will not sync.

What else can I do.

Fitbit Charge 5: Is this a broken screen?

Thu, 20 Jul 2023 12:40:25 -0700

My Fitbit charge 5 screen won’t turn on. It turns on for a second and then fades back out. I tried the charger reset twice and it didn’t fix the problem. It vibrates when I tap it (sometimes) but it isn’t tracking anything according to my app.

My wristband snapped and I ordered a replacement. When the replacement arrived, I damaged the plastic clip while trying to remove the broken wristband. Unfortunately I don't have any spare plastic clips to attached the new wristband to the watch face. I ordered a replacement plastic clip but was looking for instructions on how to attach it to the watch face.
