If the only issue is the screen is dead, then set it up as a headless server.

I have a Toshiba laptop with a dead screen and I use RDP to connect to is and it servers very well as virtually silent small server.

Connect it to an external monitor, to setup windows and enable the RDP client (or use VNC), then all you need to do it is make sure it has power and network access, and you have a server for free.
