Laptop motherboard

Too much time on my hands. Have Compaq 7710 laptop. Would like to try
grafting a new motherboard into it that would support a PIII-500 processor
or so and use the existing LCD screen, keyboard, hard drives etc. Can
anyone point me to a source for good used or new motherboards? Also is
there a web site that may shed light on this endeavor?

Thanks
Mike B
