Recovery should be Menu + Power 3 Seconds, then let go, on "Suggsy ICS" ;) lol

Have you tried flashing the "Tablo" firmware?
Maybe then you will be able to see if it is a software or hardware problem?

Power button is fried :(

There is an app on the market called "quick reboot" it kind of works, but to go to recovery you have to hold "menu" button then click "reboot recovery"
