More specifically, I want to turn it into something I can use for my Xbox 360 or really anything witht he standard 3-pin input (not really sure what to call it, but the VCRs use it, DVDs use it, and I think all video game systems past the PS1 use it)

I'm not going to turn it into a projector for them, I want to use the actual screen for it.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

You're better off using the laptop as a slave to run the screen because most laptop screens (read: pretty much all) have a proprietary hookup to the motherboard that limits what can and cannot be done with it and makes using other system's to feed video to it basically impossible.

I would have but the laptop wouldn't turn on.

Sorry, but as RDP said, without a working laptop it's practically impossible.

It is theoretically possible to build a controller for the screen, but you'd probably need a PhD in electronics and a few months of work...it's not easy.
