If the OP was able to do this, why would he/she be asking for repair
services?

Probably the least likely reason for this type of fault.

PSU's are for computers, not people.

Without knowing the machine specification, how on earth can you guess at a
rating? I have reasonably powerful machines running on 200watt supplies; a
full on gaming machine, with dual graphics cards, might need an 800watt
one.

It would be very inadvisable to fit a 20UKP PSU to a machine needing a
550watt one!

OP's dilemma...
