Vega LCD panel cracked but not the covering glass

---

I am still confused as to how this could happen. I had left my Vega on charge yesterday when the Wife and I went out for the day. We don't have kids or pets. When I got back in the evening I went to use my vega and when I switched it on the LCD went funny as in one of the pics below. How could this be cracked and withno sign of any damage to the outer casing or front glass at all!!

I am at a loss as to how this could have happened unless we have ghosts that like messing with technology. . Luckily I haver gadget insurance so can claim on that!

Dropped on edge maybe.shock could have cracked it.heat?

It was fine when I left it on charge but cracked when I got home. No-one else was home so couldn't have been from a drop. If it was heat the only thing I can think of is that it was on the bed so maybe got too hot. But then that is a poor design issue. I tried explaining that to pcworld but they said it could have only been caused by damage and is therefore not warranty. So gadget insurance claim here I come.

Hello there,

Will you have to send the vega off to insurers to be analysed? or is it simply just a claim?
Wouuld be interesting to find the cause.

Anyone heard of this happening to any other smartphone?
I have desire HD and have noticed it can get quite hot while charging and the same if on the bed. Seems like we shouldn't leave our phones on a bed. Can only guess it has to do with residual heat that the bed covers hold, add to that the extra heat from charging. Unlucky mate.

However I've never heard of lcd screen cracking, although a cheap watch (lcd) can look like that if the pressure gets too much, as in if you go diving past its rating. Maybe something similar from the expansion of liquid inside display due to heat...
Either way good luck
