Crazy internal wiring idea

Hello there. My father owns an HP DV9000 and I bet that many damns will be given in the minds of some of the readers who owned/own this PC. The bad design of the heat pipe doesn't allow any of the fresh grasp of air to flow to its GPU/CPU, anyway at that time it wasn't barely thought to install additional cooling system, so the BGA chipset slowly but surely melted, letting a warm black screen as its goodbye message. I will let aside the countless attempts to rework the chipset, as none of that lasted. The bright side is that its VGA outlet would still pump the precious images out to some external display(curious how). Then, in the most sober moment, my father suggested if we could connect the VGA to the notebook's LCD, and since I'm not that expert in electronics, I would like to know from you guys if is possible to internally connect VGA pins with its LCD connector, probably but mostly in some crazy way.. Thank you , cheers.

From my experience, in general you cannot output an image onto a laptop from an external source. You can only output the laptops image to an alternate display.

Internally connecting them seems like the same issue but it seems complex. You would have to trick the laptop into running off of your PCs components, however it is most likely hardwired not to do that, especially since it's not custom built.

Surely it seems complex, since probably the output given to the notebook's screen is digital and will require a kind of inverse VGA wiring. I tried to search for the pins specifications of the LCD but I found them nowhere.
