In facts the acpi routines seem to be there only for an emulation
environment they seem to have (had).

But yesterday the button started to work again, I don't know exactly why, I
should have touched something useful.

About your suggestions: I do have full backup of the entire system
partition, but still I need the NAS to boot and have remote access to it to
make changes, so I'm very careful when touching things.
This is why I don't think I can update it to Debian 7, unless I decide to
scratch all LG software and start a clean install, but, yet again, I don't
know if this is possible without display and keyboard I/O.
