Thanks for the suggestions - but sadly they don't work. Pressing the 
power and volume buttons in any order just brings up the volume slider 
and the option to set interrupt priority (which I hadn't noticed before 
but has probably always been there).

I tried your combination of power button plus Home icon just in case it 
did anything - but zilch!
