How To Reboot iphone With Power Button Broken

On my iphone 3G my sleep/wake button doesn't respond and 

I found a fix so I wanted to share with you. 

See the solution below:

If your phone is not frozen, you can turn on "digital" versions 

of your hardware keys without erasing network settings. 

Go to settings, general, accessibility; 
assistive touch  "on". 

A small white dot will show up on your screen, 

which you can move wherever you'd like to keep it. 

Tap the dot, 

tap device, 

and there is your lock screen button, 

which if you hold down 

will bring up 

the power off

red arrow. 

You can use these buttons the same way you would 

the "real" button.

That worked and it was booted off. 

Then - Oh, oh I couldn't  figure out 

how to turn it back on without 

that power button that is on 

the top right of the phone 

because it is broke.

I looked until I found a very easy peasy fix. 

Do you want to know what it is? 

OK, I'll tell you. 

 When you plug the phone or ipad into the wall 

as if you were charging the device and 

it will power on. 

Yep, that easy and it worked. 

I thought I was going to have to get 

a new phone 

or have it taken apart but nope, 

just plug it in to charge it 

and walaaah! 

It is fine. 

Love,
