Hi I'm trying to fix my Fitbit charge, I'm pretty sure that is not working anymore because a water damage. If anyone knows can kind of screwdriver do you need to put apart the screws from the back I will be very thankful.
Is dit een goede vraag?

That answer is for a flex, not a charge.

According to this Charge HR teardown, it's a T3 Torx.

This must be a new post of the teardown for the HR model? I didnt see that before when I posted the question thank you!

I can confirm that it is a T3 Torx screw in the Fitbit Charge (NOT CHARGE HR). Here is a replacement battery with all of the necessary tools (including T3 Torx Screwdriver) for the repair:

Same one as the bottom of an iPhone 6, very small star shaped one, not sure of the name sorry.

Fitbit Charge and Charge HR are different beasts. My Fitbit Charge (non-replaceable wrist band) used T2.

I am wondering that too! Did you ever find out? I have exact issue where I went in the lake and it died after that.

I've since verified that it is indeed a T3 screw. My Charge fell apart, and my wife's Charge randomly stopped working. No water damage, it just died.
I thought it was the battery, so I opened both up to swap the batteries, to find it wouldn't be quite that easy...the batteries are soldered to the board. And the wires are tiny.
Earlier this evening, I got around to de-soldering the batteries so I could swap them, only to find my wife's Charge still didn't work, even with a known good battery. It was just dead.
So, I reattached the battery to my board, and installed that into my wife's band. Since it was different internals, I had to do a factory rest in order to pair the Charge with the wife's account.
Just a note, once you take the screws out, you'll likely need a spudger to finish removing the back. It was a bit of a PITA.
Also, once I got mine apart, I found that some of the screw holes in band's frame were broken. When I put it back together, I actually had to glue it shut.

Fitbit customer support are really good, i've had a couple of similar problems with my Charge HR, and after 5mins of talking to the online chat support, they have sent me replacements. Might be worth a try if they break again!

Weird, my Charge HR has Torx T2 screws.
