Unplug the AC power cord from its source. Unplug the AC power cord from the
power supply.
Handle only the connectors when removing them. Includes both the mobo
connector, and the molex connectors. Rocking the molex connector
longitudinally a bit may facilitate removal. Don't overdo it.
Do not disturb anything else when doing the changeout. Common mistake is to
disturb the data cable for hard drive, CD/DVD, or floppy drives.
Some common wire ties may aid in the appearance and air flow in the PC case
when done.
Common hand tools are needed, and maybe something not so common. Some PC
cases use torx bit screws for instance. A magnetic pickup and a flashlight
are handy.
It's not unusual to have to disconnect and reconnect stuff not immediately
associated with the job at hand. Don't be disconcerted by this.
Follow the pathway of the original wiring when installing, don't reinvent
the wheel. If possible, take some digital pictures prior to attempting
replacement. Print the pictures out for immediate reference.

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.
