MacBook Pro Logic Board failure

My laptop is out of default warranty of 1 year by just few months. It was working fine till 22nd September. On 23 September, I pressed power button and it was not powering at all. There was a burning smell coming from my laptop. I immediately visited the service centre and they said that they need to find out the exact reason behind this issue.

I got the reply from service centre the other day that they need to replace logic board which comes at half the cost of laptop and even after that it is not promised that laptop will work. 

This is the reply from service centre -

" We have Diagnosed the System and found Right now the below issues : Logic Board,2.9 Ghz,8 GB

I have completed my graduation 2 years back and I have already spent my many months salary in buying this laptop. I don't think I can spend this much amount on this now. 

I have always handled my laptop with extreme care. There is not a single scratch on the laptop. How is it possible that just after few months of warranty the most important hardware part of laptop stops working. Also it is not sure that whether that part is the cause of problem or not. 

I don't think that I am alone here who is facing this issue. I saw 35 pages here which multiple people on each page facing the same issue. Following is one of them -
