Default Laptop as a monitor

I'm hoping you all can help me. A friend's Win 98 system stopped booting.
He brought over his Tower, but not his big heavy monitor. I tried to hook
the machine up to my laptop and use the screen as a monitor, but my laptop
just keeps booting to Windows.

Is there a way to make my laptop work as a monitor for this old dinosaur?

Thanks for all your help.

Nope. Not unless you want to disassemble the notebook and do some heavy
soldering action. In other words, no. :-)
