Default Repair ATX power supply

Hi All,

I was wondering does anyone here have a good guide for how to go about
repairing an ATX computer power supply ?

I've never done anything like this before, so any help is appreciated..

These are rarely repaired, however often the problem is bad electrolytic
capacitors. Occasionally one will grenade in such a way as to cook virtually
every semiconductor in it, but often they just refuse to start up. Check the
standby power supply, if that's ok then try to figure out why the main one
won't start up.
