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?

and using jailbreakme you dont need to power down the phone, just slide to jailbreak :P youll laugh how easy it is
