Broken screen

My PRS650 was sitting in the case on my desk overnight. When I turned it on yesterday, the right quarter of the screen was white with a grey triangular shape at the corner. The reader works except that nothing shows up in that quarter of the screen.

Is this a mechanical failure or could the screen have been damaged sitting on the desk (it was laying on top of a bookstand)? I have accidental coverage from my company, but I can't in good conscience claim it since I don't know of anything that could have caused the damage. I bought it last May, so the warranty just expired.

Are the screens so fragile they can break like that? My PRS500 lasted 4 1/2 years until I finally dropped it twice on the floor.
