The best way to fix a bad Power supply is to replace it.
They do fail and are cheaper to replace than to repair.

Generally, when the power supply dies the best "fix" is to replace it...so grab some information from the dead one and post back along with your system specs, you may want to increase the size (wattage) of the replacement.

Yes I would replace the power supply. I also would go with 50 to 100 watts bigger.
Agree with Rick and MJC.
A big welcome to the PC Guide.
