How could the display crack?

I bought this camera for christmas, and after taking some 30-40 pictures the display is broken. Noone in the family understands why. Noone can remember any particular stress, no marks whatsoever on the camera. I have returned it to the repair shop. They tell me that most likely this damage will not be covered by the warranty. So there goes my money. I have had some 20 cameras in my life, I have worked as a press photographer and never experienced anything like this. How could this happen?

LCD displays are normally composed of basically 2 parts, a glass cover panel and the LCD itself. From your description, it may be that the glass simply cracks due to built in stresses accumulated during the manufacturing process. That's why all fine glasses must be tempered, to "relieve" the built in stresses. Unfortunately, when the tempering process is rushed, or not done properly, glass will crack after some period of time without any event triggering it. Therefore, my conclusion is that the LCD cracked due to improper tempering of the glass in the LCD module. If that is what happened with you camera, Nikon may decide to repair it under warranty without any argument. I think it's still worth sending in for repair. If you just got it and it's cracked, you can make your case if you that it was only used once. Be nice about it and they may repair it.
