You can't do what you want, but you can connect an external monitor to the laptop. Connect the monitor, and external mouse and keyboard, turn on the laptop, and close the lid right after you do that. The laptop will see the external monitor as the only display and get you an image. If that does not work, the video card may be damaged.
You can also look for a docking station for your model and use it as a regular desktop with an external monitor/mouse/keyboard.
