I was fiddling with a PSU while it was on and something made a loud firecracker-like noise (presumably a capacitor). Because it is a proprietary size, I'm finding it hard to find a replacement. Is it possible to repair, or not worth the hassle? When it blew, there was a system running on it, but it actually still works unharmed after moving to a new case.
If it helps at all, I built a DC power supply (probably about 15v/1A) in an electronics course before. Of course I can't remember exactly how it works but I'm ok with a soldering iron (including pin mods on old motherboards)
