The Basics: Restarting Your Fitbit Luxe

Before diving into more complex solutions, let’s start with the simplest fix: restarting your Fitbit Luxe. This might sound obvious, but a simple restart can often resolve minor glitches and bring your device back to life.
1. Press and hold the side button on your Fitbit Luxe for about 10-15 seconds. You’ll see the Fitbit logo appear on the screen, indicating that the device is restarting.
2. Wait for the device to reboot completely. This process usually takes just a few seconds.
Once your Fitbit Luxe has restarted, check if it’s working again. If not, move on to the next troubleshooting steps.

Check the Battery Level

A low battery can prevent your Fitbit Luxe from turning on. Here’s how to check the battery level:
1. Plug your Fitbit Luxe into a USB charger. You can use a computer’s USB port or a wall charger with a USB adapter.
2. Wait for a few minutes. The screen should light up if the battery is low.
3. If the screen doesn‘t light up, try a different charger. Ensure the charger is working properly.
If the battery is completely drained, it may take a few minutes for your Fitbit Luxe to respond.

Charging Your Fitbit Luxe

Once you’ve confirmed that the battery is low, it’s time to charge your Fitbit Luxe. Here’s how:
1. Plug your Fitbit Luxe into a USB charger. Make sure the charging pins on the back of the device are properly aligned with the charger’s pins.
2. Leave your Fitbit Luxe charging for at least 30 minutes. You may need to charge it for longer if the battery is completely depleted.
3. Check the screen after 30 minutes. If the screen still doesn’t light up, try leaving it charging for an hour or two.

Cleaning Your Fitbit Luxe

Dust, dirt, or debris can interfere with the functionality of your Fitbit Luxe, including its ability to turn on. Here’s how to clean your device:
1. Use a slightly damp microfiber cloth to wipe down the screen and the body of the Fitbit Luxe. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
2. Ensure that the charging pins are free of any debris. You can use a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently clean them.
3. Let your Fitbit Luxe air dry completely before charging it or turning it on.

Resetting Your Fitbit Luxe

If your Fitbit Luxe still won’t turn on after trying the steps above, you might need to reset it. This will erase all data from the device, so make sure to back up any important information before proceeding.
1. Open the Fitbit app on your smartphone.
2. Go to the ‘Today’ tab and tap on your profile picture in the top left corner.
3. Select ‘Your devices’ and then select your Fitbit Luxe from the list.
4. Tap on the ‘Settings’ icon (gear symbol) and then select ‘About’.
5. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and tap on ‘Factory Reset‘.
6. Follow the on-screen instructions to confirm the reset.
After the reset is complete, you’ll need to set up your Fitbit Luxe again as a new device.
