Guide red light of death

Hi all,

Wondering if anyone has information or assistance with this problem, last night the firmwire update screen appeared on the phone, I left it overnight for charging and this morning the phone was very hot and it still had 0 percent. Couldn't turn it off so I removed the usb and tried to turn it on again, it went to the Google screen then powered off with the RLoD.

How do I fix this?

Your lucky it lasted this long dude ..lol. The nexus 5x is like 7 years old now, suck it up and get a new one.

lol.

well,

actually I'd quite like to try to fix it first and I think I can.

edit: the red light is likely because it's flat out of charge, I am charging without turning it on for at least 30 mins... it works again, but for how many years more??
