I don't think so. But perhaps there is a solution.

If your laptop supports some kind of video-in input then you could connect your desktop to your laptop by a cable. VGA, DVI, HDMI. Check if your laptop supports video-in.

 

Edit: I doubt your laptop has that. Maybe you can get some kind of VGA/DVI to Composite to connect it to a TV.

Then there's almost nothing you can do. Can't use Teamspeak..because well...that requires a working monitor to install it and get it set up..which of course would defeat the purpose of installing it anyways since you would have a working screen.

You would need access to the computer to set it up.
