Try this:
1) remove the battery
2) attach the usb cable to the phone either in the wall outlet or hooked to your computer
3) while plugged in, insert the battery
4) battery charging icon should come up on the screen
5) press power button and it might come on
sounds weird but is works sometimes, try it

Install a widget to power off, and/or remap the home button as power while you can. just to save use of your power button.
Broken Power Button?

Is your power button physically broken, or does it just not turn on the phone? If you pull the battery and put it back in, are you able to turn it on with the power button? If not try just plugging it into the charger and wait for the green battery picture. If you get that try the power button again. This is what my phone was doing. Had to have my phone replaced.
Just curious
Thanks

Hey guys, I really need your help with this one.
I accidentally reset my Vibrant back to stock using the Odin one-click (I897UCJF6 final) for the samsung captivate. Now I can't go into download mode. I've tried holding the up/down volume button then putting the battery in (vibrant way) and the captivate way with up/down volume button + power button then releasing the power button.
Hold Up and down button, put battery in, then put in your USB cable. Make sure you dont press the power button.
Or
Get a Jig.

I've tried that numerous times. However, it's not working.
Edit: Thanks for mentioning about "jig". I'm guessing this is my last hope.
Possible remedy
I had a similar problem when working with my friends phone yesterday. I used the boot to download function in the AIO Toolbox app and it worked perfectly.
Good luck.
same thing happend to me kinda. just hold the up volume button only and plug the usb in. thats what i have to do now
I removed the battery and the power button turns the phone back on. But it is not working to shut the phone down. It is not giving me the option to reboot if i long press it and if i short press it, it does not black the screen out. I have to pull the battery. To wake the phone i have to use my vol up button. This started happening out of no where.
Sounds like you might need to mod your power button or replace phone. In the meantime, Quickboot (market) will let you power down/reboot/bootloader/recovery from the app.

I dont think its that as it turns the phone on after removing the battery, so it does work. And like o said my volume button basically took over its function with waking the phone up when its sleeping.
Got it, i dled quick oot went into recovery and reboot and it works fine now. I dont know what happend.
my htc amaze has a broken power button and would flash on and off unless i take out the battery. the power button is gone, but the power sensor is still there. the phone will stay on if i push on the power sensor correctly.
you guys have any advice on fixing this and how much would it cost to repair?
thanks a bunch
have you checked on ebay for any repair parts?
Should be warranty.
yeah i checked around ebay and google for a power ribbon flex, but no luck finding one.
i found this searching around, but does it work for htc amaze? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1524858)
heres a picture if it helps:

I used Button Remapper to map the power on/off to the camera button. Never used the camera button anyway.
You can remap the power button to nothing.

Does it work to turn the phone on when its off? I only ask because I would like to set it up like you did with camcorder button.

It won't be able to, since the power button is assigned to turn on the device. There's one way I know of that you can use to turn the phone on when it's off. It requires a computer though.
You will need 4ext recovery installed. After that, have the phone connected to a computer and then (assuming you have adb drivers set up) type in the following command:
adb reboot
That should boot up the phone.

Sorry for the delay in answer. You can map the power button to whatever button you like. It does turn the phone off and on. I will act exactly as the power button does.

That's incorrect. Once the cam button is mapped as a power button, it will behave exactly as the power button.

No it doesn't behave like a power button. Sure it can wake the device and put it to sleep, but it CAN NOT power up the device once it's off. The power button sends a different kind of signal when the phone is off, and cannot be remapped with software means. It's a hardware button that tells the phone to turn on.
Before you go and tell me that it's not true, I even tested it out myself just to be sure and yep, it doesn't power on the device once it's off.

I stand corrected. I thought he was talking about stand-by off. I also tested if the button works to power on the device and you are correct, it doesn't work.
To the OP. My power button does work if I remove the battery case and press the spot where the battery case button would make contact with the phone. It would seem to be a problem with the button making contact with the phone.
When plugged in it shows the battery percentage at 99% but I can't seem to get it to power on via the power button.
If you can't find a button remapping app that will allow you to use a volume button to turn it on, plugging it into a pc usb port turns it on. The power button ribbon might not actually be damaged. It could have either slid out of position, or that area could just need cleaned. Its not overly complicated to open it up
