Dude:
GPU != HDD
The installation might probably go well

did you really check it?
could be the cable too, hinges damage cables very often.

Same shit happened to me a while ago. Doesn't look as bad, but still makes the laptop unusable.

can still use it as a headless server...

I can't install windows on it, because the installation crashes when the driver part comes up. Linux works on it for some reason, though.
I also think the HDD is broken, too. So are the USB ports. Don't know if a headless server would work.

so, its fucked.
just scrap the parts and make some bucks then
You haven't pulled it apart to check cables?
do that

>not just plug a monitor into the external video port.

The OS wouldn't install if the HDD was broken. So you have a working HDD, a working processor, and hopefully a working ethernet port. That's all your need for a headless server.
