It sounds like you're plugging in the keyboard while the computer is
powered. Try not to do this since it can destroy the ADB chip on the keyboard
and the computer, which would be unfortunate if and when you manage to revive
the 2400.

This is what tends to fool people. When the light is on the computer is *off*.

The steady green light is a diagnostic condition that means the power manager
has been reset. When you hit the power switch and the light goes out,
speaker clicks etc. that's the 2400 trying to turn on. This is why the light
is on sometimes, off others. Until the computer successfully boots and reloads
the power manager code, the light will be steady-on any time the computer is
off (unless it loses all power of course, including the backup battery).
