5X Will Not Charge

5X Will Not Charge

14 month old 5X was working normally until a few days ago.

My wife told me that it seemed to be discharging faster than normal for a few days but yesterday it actually turned off on her a few times. And then, completely dead.

I connect it to a charger and briefly see the white battery charging icon (the big one, on the otherwise black screen) and then it may (or may not) flash the same icon for a second or two every ten or 15 seconds; with each flash, the vibration motor triggers for a split-second also.

But, it never charges. If I try to force it to power on with the charger connected, I see the Google logo for a split second as though it is going to boot and then it just goes black again.

I have tried multiple chargers and cables, including the original factory items. Left it plugged in overnight and still the same this morning.
