Does anyone know if a novice armed with just a few Phillips
screwdrivers can easily replace the power supply of an HP dv1040us
laptop?

Where would I purchase such power supply?

Apparently mine has died and the laptop does not boot up. I cannot
hear the inside fans turning nor the hard drive spinning.

Ebay would be a good start. Just buy one and plug it in.
