If the device will not power on to function, there is no way to back it up. Trying an iTunes backup requires the screen to work to be able to trust the device, and iCloud requires that the iPhone be able to power up and if you want to make an iCloud backup right away, it requires screen access. You will only be able to use the last backup you have created.
