Behind the plastic power button is a tiny metal switch. If just the button is broken, use a tiny plastic tool to push the switch. But if the switch is also broken, I recommend returning the tablet for a refund or replacement if it is still covered by the factory warranty.

Fixing a broken power switch is delicate work and may cost more than the value of the tablet.

If holding down the power button for 10 seconds (theoretically, try holding it down for ages and be patient) doesn't reset your device, you may have to wait for the battery to run flat, then try the reset procedure again.
