Hi @bbypete128 ,
To add to the answer, here's the [http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c04887250|maintenance and service guide] for the laptop.
Go to p.76 to view the display assembly removal procedure.
This shows where the LVDS/webcam cable passes through the hinge to get from the motherboard to the display panel and webcam in the lid.
It is one place that the cable can get damaged as you said that it changes when moving the lid.
If the cable is damaged on p.26 (Item #6) you will find the part numbers for the cable.
Search online using the part number only in the search term to get results for suppliers.
