I understand it seems like the GPU isn’t working well. You might consider baking the logic board in an oven to reflow the solder and maybe restore it. This approach has shown moderate success on similar devices with GPU issues. There are many online tutorials you can find by searching for guidance, though you should proceed at your own risk.
I've heard about these repair methods before. What I'm worried about losing is the oven. Using it in an oven can make it unsafe for food due to harmful substances. Thanks for the tip!
