IPod Nano - LCD Faulty?

Question

Hi,
I purchased an iPod Nano for my finacee for Xmas. She has just called me to say she thinks it has broken.
The iPod is playing music. However, the screen appears to have broken, as all she sees is the backlight come on and dim as it usually would, but nothing is displayed on-screen. She has tried resetting the Nano, but to no avail. Also, she says there is a black "splodge" on the screen.
The Nano was working fine yesterday, and was left overnight on a table in it's case, face-up, so nothing has fallen on it, been dropped on it, or basicaly touched it in any way until my fiancee picked it up this morning and discovered the problem.
I've had it less than a month, so it's still covered by warranty. Is it reasonable for me to expect to be able to take this faulty Nano to an Apple store and exchange it for a working one?

Well, that's an aboslute joke. Despite your sarcastic reply, it would appear that yes, somewhat surprisingly, the LCD screen ahs failed with no form of human intervention.
I flat-out refuse to believe that an LCD screen can fail within a month of the Nano being purchased, without any form of human intervention, and it isn't covered under warranty. As I said, it wasn't dropped, had anything spilled on it, screen prodded, or anything like that, in fact, it's pretty much been treated like the thing was made of glass due to all the reports of how fragile they are.
It's amazing to me that this is not covered by the warranty. Should this go back to the Apple store this evening and Apple NOT give me a replacement, a refund will be expected as this is completely and utterly diabolical.
