Xbox One X retimer chip or hard drive?

Thanks for the help everyone. Here is an update for whoever stumbles upon this forum:

It was the retimer chip. I watched pretty much every video out there in hopes I could replace the chip myself but the fact of the matter is that it requires micro-soldering and I just don’t have the equipment or skill for that. I was able to find a guy at a local electronics (mostly phones) repair shop who took care of the chip. I just brought him the board and the new chip and I put everything back together afterwards (reapplied the thermal paste) and it fired up like brand new. Just had to reset the 4K display setting. I would highly recommend sending it in to TRONICSFIX through their website and have them do the tear down of the machine and diagnose the issue. It was a real pain in the ass trying to save about $25 and I spent a good 6 hours of my own time on the whole issue. I’m all about DIY but micro-soldering is not something anybody can knock out it their garage. Party on, party people!
