If you have an iPhone that has a dead battery, or a broken screen you have two choices, take it into Apple and have them perform a hardware replacement (especially if its under warranty). If its not under warranty, using an authorized Apple repair center it comes with more guarantees and less work then doing it yourself. Although it will probably cost you more to use this method.
Your second option is the D.I.Y. (Do It Yourself) method, you should use this option if you want to learn more about the insides of your iPhone or try to save money. To be honest, I recommend checking out the cost of both methods and evaluate which one will be best for you.
The iPhone is not designed to be user serviceable, and by opening it you can void the warranty of the device (if it has one). If you choose the DIY option precede at your own risk, be very careful it very easy to break parts in this device (for example see the video the below).
