broken touch screen fixed itself



A couple weeks into using my new nexus 5, half the touch screen stopped working (if you really had to, you could still press buttons by pressing the thing really hard). It seemed like it was a hardware issue so I unrooted and wiped the device with this guide

with the intent of returning it. Part of this process involved TWRP (where there are touch controls), and the problem occurred even there. (to me, that seemed to confirm it must be a hardware issue).

Now after everything is factory-reset, the touch screen has magically started working again. I'm extremely confused how this could have happened. My best guess is that the issue was intermittent and i accidentally jiggled the phone in a certain way to make it start working again.

Does anyone have an idea what could have happened, or how I could stress-test things to find out? If it is indeed an intermittent issue and the phone needs to be replaced I'd like to do that ASAP because I'm leaving the country and dealing with warranty will be difficult from overseas.
