If it's a typical wall wart all you need to match are the voltage, the connector size and polarity and provide as much or more current. (ie: if it's 12v 500MA, a 12V 800MA supply will work just fine, but a 14V 500MA supply will not.) That said, 'sounds like a power issue' doesn't mean it's the power supply. More than likely it's the IO board in the enclosure. If it's a built-in power supply, I'd forget about it; get a new enclosure.
