About laptop mother boards?

Question

I have a Compaq presario 1500 laptop. The mother board is fried. What I need to find out is what type of mother boards will be compatable for the replacement. I don't really care about it being a brand name, just reliable. I am on a budget and don't want to spend allot of money sending it to Compaq for repair. I have someone who is able to do the work, but not 100% sure what options I have other than buying a compaq mother board for the 1500 laptop (if any). Most repair places won't really give me a straight answer. Also any reliable resources for finding a new or refurbished mother board at a decent price would be helpful!

It'll likely NOT be worth the trouble, considering that in the US a decent laptop or notebook can be had for under $1000.
