So I tried to get this phone working.

realized the power button was borked beyond belief, and of course that is rather essential for the jail breaking process. Took the phone apart and managed to make it so I could use a pen to press the 2 contacts in the button together and finally got it into recovery mode.

I figure I can probably work through the jailbreak process with my jury rig set up, but eventually it might be good to replace the power button. Is there a place in town that sells these parts, or a good place to order them from? Alternatively is there another option, such as an app that powers off the iPhone or something?
