Damit.
My power button is completely broken. I tried this and the problem is I have 2 boot options android and maego - so when I choose maego it just gets dark after a 15 sec or so..
With powerbutton it never goes dark like this after I choose the boot option maego.
Is there no way to make it think I actually pressed the power button?
Damit, need to get inside my phone..
edit: I was however able to get into Android and can now see my files in the phone, although I can not connect phone thru usb to computer to transfer them..
I tried rebooting phone by downloading some app but it seems not possible to download these apps for some reason.

first i reflashed (nitdroid) kernel only and it didn't pass the meego boot screen and second based on an advice on irc i was told to enable rd mode and --set-rd-flags=force-
power-key . It booted normaly and then i disabled rd flag and it did the trick

why does the power key break what is the reason? Is it hardware fault? If hardware fault then i think a jumper from the battery line to power key can do the job . But i dont have the the device so cant say how it is configured.

first i reflashed (nitdroid) kernel only and it didn't pass the meego boot screen and second based on an advice on irc i was told to enable rd mode and --set-rd-flags=force-
power-key . It booted normally and then i disabled rd flag and it did the trick
Do I loose information if I reflash kernel only and as I asked how do I do it?
The other command, where do I type this and after reflashing kernel I presume?
I'm not very familiar with this stuff unfortunately. Thanks for the answer hope I can solve this!

Do I dissassemble the phone for this, how do you mean?
Have a good one

Use there 2 commands :
flasher.exe --enable-rd-mode
flasher.exe --set-rd-flags=force-
power-key
and tell me if it boots normally .

hey you mean the power key juct dosent produces the click like before right . If it is the problem then replacing the switch can do the job 
it just seems a faulty switch by your description . can i get a photo of the switch either from the web or your device

edit: I'm connecting the phone before I type the commands, or after like flasher -R? will just try both ways if no answer until I get home
