e-bay, search for "kindle for parts or not working"

Should cost you between $5 and $20 dollars, depending mostly on luck.

Probably the easiest repair (the K4 is glued) is to get a "broken screen" K4
and then just swap the motherboard (if the motherboard is where the button is).

The power/sleep switch is on the motherboard, so unless you're really good at soldering/unsoldering miniature components, it'd be easiest to replace the entire motherboard. Unfortunately, because of the design, to be able to remove the mother board, you have to first remove the bezel (front surround) and the most difficult part of the process, the back cover.

Best of luck.
