Broken Power Supply

TomTom · 2003-02-28 19:12:50

I just removed a power supply from a P2 compaq PC. It does not seem to be working at all. Should I try fix it or would it be easier to bust buy a new one. If the second option is the better one, then where would I find one? It has a variable input (100V-120V/200V-240V, 5.5A/3A, 50-60Hz) Output 120W MAX

Watch that it's not a non-standard size; if so getting a replacement might be tricky...

BTW does anyone know if the old Compaqs "do a Dell" with rewired PSU motherboard supplies?
