I would think its more than your screen which is dead. Your webcam connection was failing and only working at certain angles, now your screen portion has failed. I would think either the entire upper assembly of the laptop (screen portion/ lid) or the trunk of connections between that section and the motherboard contained within the lower portion (body of the laptop) have failed. To the Mac owner, I know you were just joking but yes if your mac was less than a year old (or whatever your elected warranty period may be) they would replace/fix it. If the HP is under warranty, chances are they will replace/fix it unless you have been throwing it around, hyperextending the lid, etc. So there's no difference there its called a warranty.
Anyway to make a long story short, take it in for service if its under warranty, otherwise don't bother trying to replace parts on a laptop unless they are very simple parts, get a new laptop it will be more cost effective as they're not cheap to fix.
The good news is your hd is probably just fine and you can transfer the files to a new computer and not really lose anything major.
Sorry about your luck :(
