Very likely yes. That switch is a momentary switch, meaning it only makes contact for the moment it is pressed, the idea being that it completes a circuit sending a signal to the PSU/Motherboard to start up. If the switch stuck on it would probably cause the machine to do a start/stop loop, not good.
