I've got a shitty dell latitude d610 laying around. the screen's hinges are broken so the only thing connecting it to the laptop is a black cord.
Would it be possible to disconnect the screen and turn it into a monitor with video input, so I could connect it to my xbox360 with vga cables or something?
I've never hacked or modded so I'm looking for some insight to see what I'm getting into, or if it is even possible.

No.
It is easier an probably cheaper to go buy a new screen.
The signals on that cord are definitely not VGA. They will be TMDS or LVDS, which you would need to convert to from the VGA signals from your laptop. Also you would need to generate power for the panel, and any of the other control signals that go from the system to the screen.
