Main board replacement for Legion 7 (AMD)

The integrated graphics on my Legion 7 (16ACHg6, type 82N6) died, and the main board needs to be replaced. The repair shop says that a new board cost about $3000, more than the laptop cost as new 3 years ago.

Is it true, that replacement boards are so overpriced? Is there an alternative way to get a replacement part for a more reasonable price? What would you do in my situation?

I live in Denmark, so US only solution are not realistic.

I have a problem with my Legion 7 16ACHg6

I believe the problem started when the pc was on sleep.
When I force-reboot it (holding power button), the power button lights up, but still no picture on the screen. Not even the Lenovo startup screen.
After leaving it off for several hours, it (sometimes) shows the Lenovo startup screen, but the screen returns to black, at the latest just after the login screen.
I have not been able to enter BIOS or Vantage at start up (or not been able to see the tool)
The keyboard light works as normal and I can switch mode using fn+space.
There is light in the power diode when the power supply is plugged in.

I have tried unplugging the main and cmos battery to reset it, without any effect.
The problem may be heat related, as I was running a game when I left it and it probably went to sleep.

The Lenovo support is worse than useless, giving advice that requires the screen and just sending me in circles. What would be your next step in troubleshooting? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Ps: sorry about formatting, I’m writing from my phone for obvious reasons.
