    There's no harm in trying it, but I think you will find that when you've booted to an OS installer DVD, the external monitor won't be supported at all — nothing will appear on it.

    Take the computer to an Apple Store or authorized service provider and ask for a repair estimate. We can't give you one here; we're just other PB users.
