Default Repairing small switch mode power supply

I have a Lidl worklight of the type that uses a panel of 150 LED's.
It worked fine for a while but one day it flickered and went out.

As I'm one of those who likes to see what makes things tick, rather then
send it back I had a look inside the housing where there is a small Switch
Mode Power Supply (SMPS).

The mains input fuse on the board has blown but nothing is burnt.

I'm hoping someone can advise on the likely faulty component.

Thanks for any help.

If for some reason you dont get the smpsu fixed, it could be run
without it by substituting a simple CR supply, reconfiguring the LEDs
and making sure the LEDs were sufficiently insulated.
