OK, here's a compromise: someone with loads of
time
on their hands, no wife, no kids, no job, no cats, no

Ah well, that lets me off the hook, then :-)_
turtles, exchange the _catastrophic_ Apple 3 p/s for a
^^^^^^^
As does that (I have a BBC buggy, which is essentially the same as the
sort of phyiscal turtle you'd use with logo :-))
As regards having spare time, it's amazing how complicated some of my
repairs can be...But replacing a capcitor isn't one of them
working one. Then proceed to *exchange* the failed
$.30 component, which in no way could take more then
15 minutes (assuming you know how to get a p/s out of
a puter - part of the work is already done, gotcha
there), then proceed to stick your *newly working* p/s
OK, how do you know the repalciement PSU is working? And how do you know
it will stay working? Most of the time a capacitor fails from old age,
nothing more. The 'new' PSU is probably about as old as the one you've
taken out, its capacitors might well fail after a short period of use.
Why not replace them with genuinely new ones.
