More than likely your ionic will brick itself if you do a factory reset, mine did.

Carlos Oulman - Jun 13, 2019

This guide does not show how to do a factory reset but rather shows how to force the device to restart.

Yes I bricked mine too

Thank you for this. I accidentally discovered this. It took 8 hours to not get this suggestion from Fitbit support.

Thanks Carlos. My main screen was black this morning. I could swipe to other screens, and found instructions about powering down using the Settings etc, but Settings just stayed on Settings for me, so I had to find some way of using the buttons to restart. I found this! It worked for me. Back to normal after restart.
