Touch screen shattered

You used it normally. You didn't punch it or hit it with metal. It must have already been damaged to break like that - maybe it got dropped recently, or left out in the freezing cold, or something.

That would be my guess if the op used it as normal.

A lot of plastics get brittle over time if exposed to UV or heat/cold cycles repeatedly, and by the sounds of it the screen is in a HGV bay or similar where that's what will happen.

You can also get plastic and glass going suddenly due to previous damage that has been getting worse until it reaches a critical point and something gives one of the reasons it's not a great idea to use a glass that's chipped as it can suddenly go after seemingly being fine with the chip for months (I've had it happen where I've gone to pick up a glass that's been used for weeks with a chip, and it's shattered as my hand touched it).

Or maybe it never happened?

Even a cursory glance at the OP's posting history reveals that he's continually yanking the chain of everyone who responds to him. I refer you specifically to his thread about Sky decoders as a perfect example.

Do not feed.
