Nexus 5X dead -- need help -- wont boot



Nexus 5X - was working fine all this while till about yesterday evening.. then suddenly when i causally checked, it was in powered off state.

Normal press of the power button did not work. No response. Pressed Power button for 10 seconds -- google logo appeared...... and that's about it -- it powered off again when OS/Android started to load. (no android boot animation).

Tried to boot to fastboot -> was successfull. Phone stays alive in fastboot mode.
Tried to boot into recovery (I had TWRP). Again, shows google logo and then when TWRP screen shows up - phone shuts down.

Dont think its a power button issue - since in fastboot/bootloader mode, the power button and rest of the buttons work as expected & the phone does not reboot.

Battery is fully charged using official charger.
Further, in fastboot mode, i am able to access/push .img files - so that way, i could push full factory image (with no errors, including userdata) & relock the boot-loader & also install the factory recovery.

I can now get into factory recovery -- but nothing much.
One thing i noted was, while in factory recovery, if i try "Apply update from SDCard" option, it says its unable to mount /sdcard (error).

The phone was purchased directly from google & is under warranty.
Have had nexus 4, nexus 5 without any issues in the past.

This nexus 5x --- has been replaced once in the past due to yellow screen issues ...

Any help/fixes will be appreciated...
