Hi guys, I'm wondering where I can find resources on how to repair a Macbook Pro 15 MC371 logic board?

My 2 years old Macbook has recently started to take 20 hours to charge. I've replaced the MagSafe charger, reset the SMC & PRAM, upgraded the software and finally replaced the "non-removable" battery, (bought one off eBay). None of those thing work, which led me to believe that the logic board is the culprit. I took my MBP to my local Apple Store and the tech guys , aka Geniuses, confirmed my suspicions, telling me that they need to replace the logic board and is gonna cost me $400. I'm currently a finance major, but I love electronics and am ok with a soldering iron. Also, I'm a DIY type of person and want to mess around with everything myself.

Basically, I'm looking for resources and training material on Macbook Logic Board repair. Can anyone point me to the right direction?
