Attn: Computer repair guys

I have a Compaq Presario C700 laptop 2 years old, Pentium duo core, our local cpu guy said everything was fine but the mother board cooked. He said he can still recover everything. My question is he wanted $700 to put another mother board in it. That seems high when you can get mother boards on ebay for a third that much. Anybody out there that could fix this for me cheaper or is it now a high dollar paperwieght? I appreciate your thoughts thanks.
