ROG 3 suddenly broke down, blackscreen and intermittent power

ZT-5926e239

Please tell us some basic information before asking for help:
Model Name: Rog Phone 3 ZS661KS (16/512 Variant)
Firmware Version: Latest
Rooted or not: Not Rooted

My ROG 3 suddenly gone blackscreen and intermittent power for no reason, I was very careful as it is my first premium phone. (Premium on price, not on quality)
And then last week issue occurred, I brought it to service center for diagnosis, they said it was motherboard problem (ALL OF A SUDDEN), I read few discussions and posts that for past few months it was common among ROG 3 and ROG 5 units. BUT THE WORST THING IS MY WARRANTY EXPIRED AND THEY ARE ASKING FOR 50,000 PHP for the fix.
ROG 5s 16/512 is at 49k. The repair is more expensive than the phone itself.
I bought my phone sept 2020, part of the pre order group for limited 16/512 variant.
I'm not asking for support as I know there's no workaround unless I PAY THAT FREAKING 50K just for repair.
Just don't buy this phone, it will just break your heart, and your wallet definitely.

I never used different charger for my ROG 3, I always used the stock charger, and I wasn't even charging it when it died like out of nowhere.

Unless you are saying that the stock charger of ROG is the one that's killing the phone.

You got it, stock charger also has 20v mode. It's highly suggested to use max 12v chargers.

Well, that's new, and I guess no one from ASUS will confirm that isn't it?

Yeah, well it's disappointing that a "PREMIUM" Phone is really premium on expenses.
I have a phone that is already 5 yrs old and still alive and useable (Its not Iphone).
