You can use one of the plugs that go into the power point/cigarette lighter. Cut the end off add wire to reach a good 12 volt battery. Plug it in. This should give you power to open the boot with the switch.

How about using the key? if not possible then boost the vehicle, you will have a N and P terminals at the engine under the hood, look for a red plastic cap that will be your positive and as for the negtive you can use any place on engine.
If pushing the button will not open the trunk (boot), you will need to remove the rear seats to access the trunk compartment. Pull the bottom seat off by simply prying it. The fold down back rests are locked from the trunk on top so you will have to unscrew the retaining bolts from the bottom of the back rest to flip the seats up. Once inside, you will find a yellow pull handle that manually opens the trunk where the striker is. Pull it and try to have the replacement peice ready so you don't have to go thru that again.
Are you sure it is the key causing the issue and not the car's battery? if the battery has gone dead on the car then the remote will not open it. is there any lights on the key to suggest it is working?
The problem I think is in the fuses. There is a fuse for every electrical stuf and there is for the each door windows. Check wich one is and verfy if is burned.
For the unlocking problem check if you press two times fast the unlocking buton if that will open all doors. Try to turn the key right and hold it for at least 5 sec.
Between the plates lights have a small opening to insert the key and open the trunk.
Try all this. If you don't have a drawing with all fuses check internet.

You must charge the battery or you can use jumper cables from another battery to your battery to activate the electric trunk release, just be sure you hook up the jumper cables correctly ( cable to + on the battery and black to _ terminal of battery)and wear safety glasses when hooking up cables this should release the trunk. Also as a precaution always hook up + or red jumper cables wires first to prevent a arcing spark which is not terribly dangerous but this order in which to connect jumper cables is recommended.
