I’ve found 2 vintage desktops from around the 2000’s era. One already had a broken power supply that won’t even turn on (and thankfully didn’t break anything else). The other desktop had a working ATX PSU, but it just blew out a few days ago. The PSU is an Elitech LC-B450E and I believe it has 4 molex connectors.

Now, I was wondering, would it be possible to repair the PSU (not that I would do that myself because I don’t even know how to solder)? If not, would it be possible to get a relatively new one that’s compatible?

    2000’s era

    Any modern standard PSU will work provided it has molexs. PSUs were pretty much standardized by then, there’s really no need to “rescue” the one it came with

    Now if you had a “true” vintage computer with a non standard PSU, like something from the 80s or an Apple II or something like that, yea you might need to repair it or hope someone is making new replacements for it
