    You can make damn near any computer fine again with different parts. New board, cpu, ram, hd, ect. The case is just a shell.

    Simple test, hook the laptop video (15 pin looking port likely blue in color) to a monitor. If it works its just the LCD video.

    Look for this to hook a monitor to...

    If the monitor you hook up to that port looks fine then video on laptop is good its would then just be an issue with the LCD

    This is a LCD part of the laptop.
