I am helping a friend with his laptop that was damage by a delta baggage
handler. The display is fractured. So we connected the external
monitor port to a lcd monitor to verify that the laptop would boot.
And indeed it did. However it booted to 640X480 with 4 bit color?
It will not let me change the resolution or color depth setting.
Can anyone help with this?

Your friend's laptop has been physically damaged. What you see is the
video damage, but since the laptop's video chip is on the motherboard
there is a high probability that other parts of the motherboard are
also damaged. This is not something you can fix yourself. Contact the
laptop mftr.'s tech support.
