Speaking as an electronic technician, computer technician, and monitor repairman...
With enough ingenuity there is always a way. The worst case scenario would be to design your own circuit board to translate between the desktop video card and the laptop LCD.

Flickering sounds like the backlight has died (if you can still see the desktop behind it).

What's your laptop model?

To both identify and purchase the converter/controller that you want, try this Controller Solution Generator at DigitalView.com. Be forewarned though; these converters are expensive.

That should be easy if you have a twisted pair cable,use a crossover cable to connect your laptop to your desktop using the RJ45 connector,when your boot up the two machine you can even manipulate the content of your desktop from your laptop and vicecersa.
