Broken touch?

Hi!

I got an Xperia Z, working perfect until one night when I put it next to a TV on a counter.
Let it stay there for about 1 hour when I tried to sleep, got up again and walked over to get my phone.

Turned on the screen and tried to unlock it, but nothing at all happened. The screen wont recognize any of my touches.
Anyone have any idea at all what could've happened? Seriously, I just let it lay on the counter, no one touched it or even got close to it, but it stille broke.
Restarting the phone wont work, and that's about all I can do. I've tried letting the battery drain out several times since it happened, but no progress what so ever.
This happened about a year ago, and now I've decided to send it to a repair company and see what they can do. But before that, hit me with ideas!

Thanks in advance

It makes sense - if your digitizer is broken then you can't do anything and your screen won't recognize any your touches.
If you can't see any crack then there might be a software problem.

You have to send your phone to repair company if your digitizer/LCD is cracked nevertheless and there's nothing we can do or suggest

No cracks at all, just one small on the glass on the backside, but that's been there for like one year longer then the broken digitizer.

Got any ideas how this could've happened then? Just laying completely still, no special warmth nor coldness, no liquid touching it or anything. It just stopped working.
Might be one of natures greatest mysteriums :p

Have you tried to reinstall the ROM then?
I don't have any clue about that why this could've happen

No, I have not. This would be the absolutely the last exit, since I have important data on the device.
Anyway, i left it to a guy who'd change the display for me, getting it tomorrow again.
Thanks for the responds tho!
