LCD TV screen vertical lines

[tali1]

LCD TV has developed vertical lines fault -the lines emanate from a small circle .Tesco say this is accidental damage.However, there is def no visible damage to screen.Tesco then claimed that the damage would actually be internal and not externally visible.
Now when TV is on the small circle certainly does look like impact type damage- but could the circle have developed as a manufacturing defect /fault ?

EDIT TRY AGAIN

nope doesnt need to be visible externally the wife dropped her netbook and had very similar results but you couldnt tell it had been dropped bar the seriously donald ducked screen

the individual lines arnt all ways due to impact damage i have a screen here that has lines like that but the big block that has the wavy line at the top is certainly a crack yes it could be a naturally occurring phenomena that caused it but you can understand why they would blame you

100% certain its impact damage, everyone tries the 'it just happened by its self' line but its a plane as smashed glass, it just dosent do it by its self, someone has broke it on you now time to make them own up to it

Time to start quizzing the family: has anybody been using the Wii without the strap on their wrist?
