Q: PB G4 17 with dead backlight, possible to connect to an external display?

I have a PB G4 17 with a dead backlight, nothing.. just black... no sign of life whatsoever.. can I connect it to an external monitor?

 

I tried connecting it to an external display and starting up, I can't hear the chime, but after a while I notice the power light remains constant so assume that it is on. I would like to salvage the 17" inch by connecting it to an external display/monitor and use it as a desktop. I plugged in the external display onto the pb, but no luck, the display says no video input detected ... is there a way I can use my pb? dont want to junk it...

 

think it run OX 10.2 or 10.3
