Help First time poster with screen issue

Hey everyone, as the title says I am a first time poster and I am currently having issues with my screen on my phone.
The phone is a Samsung galaxy s3 3G which i purchased unlocked in october 2012.
It has had no issue until last month, where after a very sudden loss in battery performance, my screen just died. If I make the room pitch black, I can just make out shadows on the screen however it is nothing readable due to how dark it is.
My girlfriend had the same issue with her phone and was told by her company it was a swollen battery which caused the breakage, but my battery looks very slightly swollen if at all. I apologize if this has been asked already, but I looked and didn't find it. any help or suggestion would be very appreciated.
 
Welcome to Android Forums! It does sound like the battery. Try a new one and hope the screen isn't permanently damaged. But it probably is damaged. Take the battery out before it ruptures.
 
Hey there, thanks for the suggestion. I have to apologise for such a late reply. I have been so busy that accessing the forums completely spaced on me. Thanks again!
