So basically my wife's phone has a broken power button, with the few times it's been turned off she just plugs it into the charger to start it and it boots up, so this time it went to the TurboPower screen and now it's just stuck there because without a power button it won't turn on or go past the TurboPower screen.
So is there any other way to exit TurboPower other than the power button? I'm going to try leaving it for an hour in hopes it just leaves by itself but I have doubts that will work.

I tried to wake up my Touchpad last night and nothing happened. So I pressed the power button and nothing. I held the power button for 15 to 20 seconds. I felt the tablet vibrant once but it never came on. So I held the power button another 20 seconds and felt it vibrate, but still nothing. I also had it plugged into the HP power adapter at this time.
I unplugged it and tried pressing and holding the power button a few more times. I noticed that without the power plugged in I don't feel it vibrant when holding the power button.
I'm trying it with a 2amp Samsung adapter with the HP cable. But after having it plugged in an hour it still doesn't powering on.
Any other troubleshooting steps I can take?

When the battery is completely depleted it takes a long time (24+ hours) to get it up to speed again. Leave it plugged in overnight with the stock charger, or touchstone..
The button combination that reboots is power button and home button, held together for up to 10 seconds. That should get you to moboot.
Good luck.
Ahh... I didn't hold the power and home buttons together for 10 seconds. After doing that, I got it to reboot and back into Android.
The battery is at 100% and it was on the charger when it decided not to wake up anymore. But it's alive again. Thank you very much.
Hi, I'm facing a strange problem with my 2 years old Galaxy Note. It auto turns on as if power on switch is pressed as soon as you insert the battery. Also, if I only press the home button and volume down key together I go into download mode without even pressing power on button, similar thing when I try to enter recovery mode (I just need to press volume up + home button, without power on). So I may think of a stuck poweron button, but phone doesn't cycle in rebooting itself as it should if I pressed continuously its poweron button. Could it be the battery? Sometimes I have problems charging it... the phone stays in charge 3 seconds yes and 3 second no even if I take out the usb power cable (the icon blinks with the little thunder every 3 seconds). If I plug back and forth the usb power cable for 3 seconds twice the problem disappears... what can you say about it? Tried full recovery with stock 4.1.2 rom without success
This may or may not be a power button problem. I had this problem myself! Try removing your battery, cleaning carefully your micro usb port with a thin toothpick and try gently moving it up or down but really carefully!!!, insert your battery and try again. I had problems 2 3 days after cleaning it, but after that no more problems. Also see if your battery has a little bulge. If yes, then you should replace that too.
my atrix hd is rooted and I updated it to kikat with a ROM but it froze it wont respond to anything seems the only way to wait till the battery drains but that will take many hours. Anyway to force reboot or shut down?
Hold down the power button for a long time (> 10 seconds).
Eventually it should shut off/restart.
You can also try holding the Volume down and power buttons for a long period (10-15 seconds), that should normally take you to recovery mode.
hold the power button until it vibrates

That is incorrect. Holding volume up and power, then releasing power when you see the boot logo, takes you to recovery. Doing the same with volume down takes you to fastboot.
To answer the initial question, hold all 3 physical buttons until the screen or the LED turns off, at which point you can power it back on normally.
The LED is a good tell if it's frozen and the screen is off, like if it froze while charging, because the light will stay on after unplugging it.
My phone battery died and the phone got switched off, now its not switching on even after charging through wall charger. When I try to reset the phone by pressing volume up + power on button/volume up+down+power on button after about few seconds the white screen with htc logo and powered by android comes up for few seconds and goes black again.
When I press volume up+Down+Power button for more time the white screen appears multiple times but phone doesn't boot. I can see the black screen battery charging animation, battery charge percentage and steady orange light when connected to the wall charger.
Please help me, if anybody has a solution to bring back the phone to life.
After few attempts of different combination of power up + volume down + volume up buttons I could get into the bootloader screen, when reboot and other options didn't work. I reset the phone and it came back to life, but lost all the data on the phone memory.
Seems like my 3T does not turn off when I turn it off via pressing the power button. When I have a charger connected it's easy to spot when the vibration goes off, but the charging light keeps lit - even when I remover the charger. It's also apparent that the device won't turn on when pressing the power button for three seconds. I need to press it about eight secs and then another two to turn it on.
Turning off works when rebooting the phone and turning it off from the bootloader (my device is unlocked) or when turning it off at the pin entry (have boot pin set).
Can anyone confirm?
Tested with clean system (no root, no Xposed) and still happening...
Turning off with the power button works on my device, powering up DOES take some time, 5-8 seconds of holding the power button down.
Seems like forever holding that power button!
Maybe I need to be more precise. Yes, I can "kill" the phone just holding that button for about ten seconds. But that's not the point. I suspect it does not power off properly.
To test, hook it up to the charger. Press power for about three seconds. Select "Turn off". Wait for the phone to vibrate. Charging light is on. If it'd be powering off correctly, it would kind of turn on again to show you the charging screen (battery symbol, then dash symbol). Does not do this for me. Instead it sits there... black. When I remove the charger, the charging light stays on.
To turn the phone on again, I then have to press power about ten seconds (turning it off), and then again to turn it on.
I tried your exact method, and my device shuts down (connected to the power cord, plugged in) normally, and them restarts while holding down the power button in 3 seconds.
When not connected to the dash charger, my device does power down very slowly as described in my earlier post (stock kernel)
My devices is rooted with the blue spark kernel though--so maybe that has some baring in my "normal" shut down/startup behavior.
I have the same bug to you... So I disconnected the cable...
Just wait for the future updates....
