YouTube? :-) But I did ask it. As expected, the answer is quite general, but it's a good start:
how to repair a broken PSU
=======================
Repairing a broken power supply unit (PSU) can be a complex and potentially dangerous process, 
as PSUs can contain high voltages that can cause serious injury or damage to your components.
If you are not experienced with electronics or power supply repair, it is generally recommended
that you replace the broken PSU with a new one.

However, if you have experience with electronics and feel comfortable working with high voltages, 
here are some general steps you can take to repair a broken PSU:
Disconnect the PSU from the power source and any other components.
Open the PSU case and inspect the components for any obvious damage, such as 
blown capacitors or burnt components.
Use a multimeter to test the voltage outputs of the PSU to determine if any of the 
voltage rails are not working or are providing incorrect voltages.
Replace any damaged components, such as blown capacitors, with new components that 
have the same specifications.
Test the PSU using a power supply tester or by connecting it to a computer to determine if 
it is working correctly.
If the PSU is still not working, consider replacing it with a new one rather than attempting further repairs.
It's important to note that working with PSUs can be dangerous, and if you're not experienced with 
electronics, it's always recommended that you seek professional help or replace the PSU instead 
of attempting to repair it yourself.
