In order to test a PSU properly you also need to switch the loads from
say 25% to 100% load at differing frequencies to measure the dynamic
change in output voltage. If there is an unacceptable voltage change -
more than several 10s of mV off the top of my head - this  indicates
that the smoothing cap. is o/c or close to it. PSUs can also
overvoltage with load changes, but appear to output the correct
voltage on no and steady loads.

For professional, and expensive, computer repair there is a repair
shop on the east side of Barbados St. somewhat Sth. of Tuam St. Sorry
I forget the name.

For a more 'homely' service I can recommend Graham Vincent who runs
 Vintron Electronics Ltd
