Do you mean that when you push the power button, nothing happens? Are you positive it was the power supply in the first place?
Recheck all your connections for a start.
Make sure your powerstrip or surge protecter isn't shot.
Check everything between the wall plug and the machine.

I don't understand what you mean. Did a service center install the power supply or you? If a service center, take it back and have them fix it right. If you, ask yourself why you installed a power supply. Did you remove the old power supply and test it out of the computer with an ohm-meter?
If you replaced the power supply without testing it with a meter, maybe it was actually fine. There are other reasons why a computer might not respond besides a power supply. Try resetting the power management (link below has details). If that is a no-go, try reseating the processor but be careful. It is easy to damage something unless you know what you are doing.

definite they make situations that convert inner no longer undemanding drives to exterior USB or Firewire drives. i take advantage of one myself from an old inner. they're additionally quite low value. look at link I enclosed for a record of them
