My ipad power button is jammed. I tried to press it to shut it down, but it wouldnt push. So I held the home button, and volume button so it would restart. It did, but since my power button is jammed in, it keeps restarting. It wont stop. How do I unstick the button?

I hate to say it, but you have to take the digi and LCD off to get the dents out. If you go this route use a file to file the inside of the frame where the power button is or try a using a flat head screw driver with a hammer to bend it back out.
However, I have seen the power buttons and other buttons stick because of soda spilled on it. Then again you would have to take it apart and clean it.

Are there visible dents around the button?
It's possible you could get the button to pop out if you LIGHTLY bang the edge of the pad against a surface with the button pointing down. If there's any side surface of the button showing you could also try trying to pop it up with a knife point or fine screwdriver.

Yes there are many dents around the button, and a few on it too. Ive tried both of those things, even with finer edged objects but it wont budge.

I have to agree with Skiller. It'll have to be repaired from the inside.
