Hi:
Power Supply of one of PCs is now dead, as seeing nothing happened even numerous tries by asking questions on other MS Group. Then, I'm thinking of replace 'Power Supply.' The PC with XP is about
5 years old with XP Home Edition made by HP.
My question is; Replacing Power-Supply is NOT really hard for a novice like me who only
had experience Ram-expansion by opening the PC-case?

Any other suggestions and advices would be truly appreciated.

And to add one more thing: Remove the supply and take it with you. Mounting screws, fan placement, AC Receptacle placement all have to match. So it's just so much better to show a saleman and say "one like this". And he too can see the wattage and maybe up you a bit as has been said.

At least in my local computer stores, the power supplies are dumped in a
bin, and they're a sorry looking lot. I'd rather buy one online, than
take the sad looking supplies I see locally. Just a thought.
