no.
it is a vast amount of work. the LCD has to be researched (if its datasheet is even available). a conversion circuit has to be designed and manufactuered.... and before that it is necesssary to work out if there is room for it.
the keyboard hsa to be reverse-engineered
the trackpad has to be reverse-engineered
the connectors have to be researched (heights, sizes), PCB heights measured.... or you have to cut holes in the casework to get the PCB to fit.
the battery has to be researched and reverse-engineered, paying attention to safety as you could set fire to it if you get it wrong.
What if the laptop in question has coreboot support?
