   You don't need either a hammer or a wrench, but you would need to know   
   which end of a soldering iron to hold in order to fix that power supply.   
     There's one component that pops, the X2 filter capacitor, that needs   
   replacement - it will be obvious once you open the metal housing which   
   is that component.  But in the mean time, besides the smell, there   
   really isn't much danger in continuing to run that power supply even   
   with the blown filter cap...
