I have a Sony Vaio VGC-Rb30 and the motherboard went out. My tech wants to charge me 300-400 dollars to fix it. I know I can get a generic motheboard for alot cheaper and install it my self. Any suggestions on where I can get one.

Is this a notebook system?
If so, 300-400 is a good deal, actually. Motherboards for notebooks are somewhat involved to remove, and they're not cheap, either.
About the only thing I could recommend is that you try to find a cheaper motherboard or parts system on eBay, and have your tech install that. There aren't really "generic" motherboards for notebook systems.
