I had the same thing happen to my 5s.
battery swelled, then the screen stopped working after I replaced the battery. can't decide if I should try a new screen and trade/sell it, or just give up on it.
I bought the screen for $20, but its more complicated than just snapping a new screen on. Had to remove the camera, metal shielding and home button and reinstall on the new screen.
Screen comes on, shows the apple logo, then turns off, then does it again 10 seconds later. then again. and again. Original screen was showing a whole row of dead pixesl on the bottom 1/4" so thats why I reaplaced mine.
Im wondering if the battery is bad. The phone works perfect, only been hit once years and years ago.
that said. $13 a month was an easy pill to swallow.
