LCD is blank (grey) but camera is still functioning.

Hello Tina, This is not your day ! sounds like LCD failure.

not a user fix problem.

Replace it - you have successfully damaged it beyond economic repair.

No, the M1033 cannot be used as a webcam.

That probably wasn't the answer you wanted to see, but there it is.

my camera does the same thing! did u fix it somehow

screen protectors are only plastic covers that protects the screen from scratches and such.
It is not possible to buy a new LCD screen.
Since the camera is now Out of Warranty a repair will cost 48 pounds with KODAK.

"I even smacked it a couple of times."

Simple NEVER buy another camera again!

This is a common problem with all LCD screens without anti-reflective coatings.This is normal. Increase the brightness of LCD while shooting in the sun. Internal memory normally takes only a few images. This is normal. Use a memory card to shoot more images.
