Razer Blade 15 Issue: Motherboard Failure After Warranty

I'm writing because I don't know what to do. In September 2021, I bought a Razer Blade 15 Advanced with an i7 and RTX 3070. For a little over two years, the laptop worked fine. Unfortunately, in December 2023, it suddenly stopped recognizing the RTX 3070 graphics card. I tried to figure out why it happened, but I couldn't. I left the laptop alone for a while. Recently, when I tried to turn it on again, the screen remained black after startup. So, I sent the laptop for service because there are no Razer service centers in Poland, where I currently live, to diagnose the issue.

Unfortunately, it turned out that shortly after the warranty expired, the motherboard broke. I bought the laptop for a considerable amount ($3k USD) after saving up for a long time, and the only service center capable of repairing it wanted around $1k USD, which is an unattainable sum for me at the moment.

I use a lot of Razer equipment, but this is the only problem I've encountered with this laptop. Is there anything that could help me in this situation?

Exactly the same thing happened to me and my Razer Blade 15 (2021) Advanced Edition!

The charging circuit on my 2021 Blade 15 Advanced failed last summer (it was purchased in Dec of 2021) and will not see AC adapter is connected under high load rendering it useless for gaming (the primary reason I bought it). It needs an entire new motherboard. I never plan on buying a Razer laptop ever again. Sure seems someone should look into a class action lawsuit with how many people are having issues with this system.
