Almost as good as bricked

Well, first of all I have a lg mytouch 4g. I have root, cyanogenmod 9, TWRP custom recovery and a BROKEN POWER BUTTON!. So when I accidently used TWRP and had to take the battery out there was no way to turn back on. And I already tried adb and it wouldn't recognize the device because it was shut down. How do I get it back on without adb or power button?

Will it turn on when you plug it into a wall charger or no?

Yeah it will turn on when I plug it into a charger

Cool. Well then, not saying this is the best solution on planet earth but I used this app for awhile:

It was a little glitchy for my needs but that's been many months ago. Could be handy for your situation.

Actually, most of the newer reviews are all 5 stars. I may give it a shot again myself.

Thanks but the phone is off right now. And each time I plug it in, the cyanogen battery pic shows up the disappears according to default. Something like this happened earlier but magically rebooted in its own after I took out the sd card and plugged it into the computer in debugging mode.

What debugging mode can you access with the external keys or did I misunderstand there?

I assume the power key plus one of the volumes is needed to get into recovery on this phone?

Either my computer was going insane or something it wouldn't recognize my phone. Until I took out the sd card
