I bought a replacement power supply off of ebay. The power supply was not the exact same one as the original but the seller swears up and down that it's compatible. I installed the new power supply and here's what happens ...
As soon as the computer is plugged in the lights on the front of the machine turn on and the internal fan starts running. However, the on/off switch has no effect on anything. The front light stays on and the internal fan just keep running - but the computer cannot be powered down or booted up.

Make sure all the connectors from the power supply are going to the right places. If you have a Pentium 4 processor, there are two types of connectors from the power supply to the mother board. Make sure both of them are connected. Make sure power supply to the hard drives are connected correctly, as well as to the cd/dvd drives.
