Can you ssh to kali 'broken screen' with cable connected and DHCP available in the network ?
From the terminal, check out /var/log/Xorg.0.log (or similar) to see if your display is detected and X running.
If you do not know the IP address, a simple nmap -sn n.n.n.0/24 should provide live hosts in simple home network environment.

You can also execute other commands, and provide additional details, such as lspci, lshw, lsmod.

Depending on your hardware, you might need a non-free firmware package if you have video issues.
For instance, you say 'you can move your mouse after some time and see it', which probably means X server is running.

What is the model of your laptop ?

Hope the helps
