My springboard crashed, but now I can't unlock my phone and it's stuck in safe mode. the slide to unlock just doesn't work for some reason. My power button is broken so I can't do a hard reset and my computer doesn't detect the iPhone either, so I can't restore. SB settings won't work either and it seems like my Phone just isnt registering any of my touches.

What should i do? iPhone 4S iOS 5.1.1
Phone is completely unusable right now, please help!

Did you ever install openssh? If yes, you could ssh to your device from your computer, type in your root/mobile password, and type "reboot" without quotation marks in the terminal

It'll reboot the device. Besides that, you might need to wait for your device to run out of battery
