My Nexus 5X decided to crap out today. I managed to nurse it back to health with a hot air rework station, but I get the feeling I may be in the market for a new phone soon...

Another trick I used to get this working is to open it up and stick a penny between the case (where the thermal pad is) and the SoC. Made mine work for ~a week, but it does heat up a lot after that. Enough to pull stuff out.
This one has the SoC on the other side, against the back of the screen. Probably not the best idea to stick a coin in there...

Mine was also a 5X. I assure you sir, this is completely safe!
