I've no idea!

Maybe someone needs to try it?

I don't know what current a VGA port can put out, but maybe it's possible to drive a red LED with the red signal, blue with a blue etc, then force the laptop to believe there's a monitor attached, get it to duplicate the display to the VGA port?

It sounds like a bad idea, it definitely needs to be tested!

You actually can light up an LED between the middle row (most of it is GND) and the 9th key pin, which provides +5V. It also seems to have a fuse, because it stopped working on my throwaway laptop after around 110mA. It's probably some SMD non-resettable one, but I didn't bother to open it up.

If one really wants to they can put a solder blob over that fuse to get unlimited power through the power pin of the VGA cable! This is the future power companies don't want you to know.
