How do you hook up a laptop with a damaged screen to a separate monitor so the laptop can be used as a keyboard?

Plug the monitor into the laptop. Easy as plugging in a lamp. Let's hope the port isn't damaged, too.
However, some laptops will not begin using an external display unless you set it to from the advanced display properties (in Windows), in which case the laptop's monitor needs to be at least somewhat usable in order to use the second one.
