A:

If you had Settings > iCloud > Backup turned on while the screen was still usable it is possible that the phone will backup automatically if it is connected to wi-fi and you plug it in to charge. If you had that setting turned on you would also already likely have an iCloud backup from the last time it was charged while connected to wi-fi.
