Don't ditch the failed supplies. They can be hard and expensive to
find. First failure mode on them is overheat due to failed fan. Usually
that takes the internal fuse. Open with care as the caps in them can
hold a lethal charge. Rare is the failure of the caps from what I've
seen. The high voltage chopper transistor or the input rectifiers are
more likely to be suspect.
