If you've a meter and the odd bit of wire, perhaps from Arduino
development, then
Tutorial: Suspect a Dead PSU? How to be sure

may be of use. Hardware's not my forte but it looks like reasonable
advice.
There's also

but you may not feel comfortable giving that a go.
Out of curiosity, did this stop working around the time of the
Bournemouth floods?
Cheers, Ralph.
