Find the wires leading from the stuck button and follow them to where they're plugged into the motherboard.
And the end of the wires there should be a connecter.
The connecter should be a little plastic thingy that slides on and off 2 little prongs. The way the button works is it bridges the 2 prongs when it's pressed. Since it's stuck, it's keeping the prongs connected.
Removing the connecter from the 2 little prongs will open the circuit up and keep the computer from it's inability to start.
Hope this helps.
