not sure if your broken button will effect it being able to turn on again though

The best option is going to the Wiki or googling and do a search for the Service Manual for your PPC. Then, you can disassemble it and take out your power button... and put another power button there or repair the one you have now.

Take out the battery, and it's off. Use a small needle to carefully retrieve the power button. If not work, then dismantle it. It's not difficult for most htc devices, usually only need a screw driver and a thin flat tool. otherwise send to some electronics professional or some engineer to do it. But you have to make it work, at least not always stuck. Cheers & good luck.
