Just replace the power supply, it's not really worth trying to fix it.

The power supply should have a sticker somewhere with the
manufacturers information, also what outputs (typically 5 and 12 V),
and what current (amperes) it is capable of supplying. Anything that
has the same connectors and voltages and currents should be ok,
mounting screws and connectors will be the biggest problem.
