Q: Macbook pro mid- 2014 MLB issue??

I have a MacBook pro mid 2014 model. bought it 1.5 yrs back..sparingly used.. for the past one month, I was getting folder with question mark intermittently.. noe it has stopped booting completely..meanwhile few keys have also stopped working..

 

i have tried SMC,PRAM reset and Internet recovery...the service centre reinstalled is Sierra and gave.. No other softwares were installed .. It works only for 5-6 hrs.. Slowly I see lot of hangs( persistent rainbow beach balls ) when I am browsing Or in sleep mode. Forced to restart the Mac by holding power key for 10 secs..after 5-6 such hangs, the Mac fails to reboot.

 

NOw now the service centre is telling me that it could be a MLB issue.. Replacement of MLB, keyboard with top case and battery is costing me more than the cost of the MacBook pro..

 

 

any pointers .??? Really depressed luking at the prospective expense
