Runs fine, black screen, back light but no display, ran fine earlier.

Bizarre honestly, didn't drop it, nothing, just kaput, worked early in the day, took a break at work to find the screen doesn't work... its like a purplish color, no longer under warranty and rooted, tried the battery trick, nothing [inappropriate language removed by moderators].

Welcome to Android Central! Unfortunately, it sounds like the screen spontaneously failed, which can happen. You can either bring it to a repair shop, or search YouTube for videos on how to replace it yourself, if you're handy enough.

I was wondering... Could this be software related? I had been having some strange malfunctions since I professionally rooted my phone, but nothing as bad as the screen failing, was actually thinking about taking a look inside to see if anything came loose.

If the screen is purplish then it's kaput; this is no software induced issue.
It's unlikely that something came loose, but since it's going to have to be opened up to replace the screen assembly why not...
