Need advice on what to do with my laptop

I have a Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 with an 11th-gen i5, RTX 3050 4GB, and 16GB RAM that I bought in 2022. Until late July it was working flawlessly, but suddenly it started freezing randomly. And the next day, it stopped giving display. I took it to a repair shop and the guy fixed it for $22 and said it was IC shorted in motherboard, but the issue soon returned within a week. I have got a new computer so I don't need the laptop anymore. I need your advice on what to do with it to get maximum value out of it. Here's what I could think of:-

  1. Sell the RAM and SSD seperately, but I don't know what I'll do with the rest of the PC (motherboard, display, charger, etc)

  2. Sell the laptop as a whole to a shop or to an individual, but i am only getting lowball offers below 90$ and I can probably just sell the RAM and storage for that much in current market.

This shit is literally harassment

I feel bad for my mom she must be sleeping and this random ass "extremely severe alert" with such a disturbing tone woke her up and it's not even anything immediately important to us right now.
