I can't find a replacement part.

NickelMenu? Not feasible. Can't power on/off, or reboot to get started, since the power slider doesn't work.

One of the magnetic covers that would cause the Aura to sleep/wake has been suggested, but I can't find one for sale anywhere, not even used.
Many people have converted regular covers to be a sleep cover...I mean, if you are just trying to wake it, a magnet would work, in the right place.

But from what you wrote, I assume your reader is currently off, in which case you need more than a sleep cover to turn it on.

When I plug my ereader in to charge, that causes it to boot up (can't remember if it always boots up, but it certainly does in many situations when I intended for it to stay off ...ie it is off, not sleeping,...and just charge it...), so I would just plug it in to get it turned on initially....then maybe one of the suggestions you mention would work?
