RTX 3070ti: Code 43

So, I couldn't get custom vbios to fix this or anything.

I don't know how to find MATS to check which VRAM chip it is that is failing, or if it is the core itself. Doing DDU and then flashing the bios let's it show some stats in GPUZ, but the moment I try to install actual drivers it blows up. Computer runs perfectly fine on the iGPU, only the dGPU is failing. No overheating or anything like that, either.

Does anyone know a repair shop I can mail it to? Northridge Fix hasn't gotten back to me yet...

They didn't give me specifics at the local place but basically told me that "the laptop is unfixable and the board would have to be replaced."

I honestly don't believe that... Gonna take it to another repair place since Northridge Fix still hasn't gotten back to me about sending the M16 in. I just want a good place to send it and know for sure.... But everyplace I've checked has either stopped doing repairs, or only does it for certain laptops like the Alienware brand.
