bin the power supply or bin the computer?
Unless thje fault is something glaringly obvious which can be fixed in
just a few minutes, it's just not worth futzing around with machines
more than about 5 years old. You can get a younger and thus better
working replacement for the same price as paying a technician for two
or three hours work.
If it comes to that, needless to say, we'll save any parts that can be
saved. :^)
(The computer in question is actually posher than my own, and my own
feels pretty valuable to me.)
Further assistance available. Probably an easy enough salvage.
