You're suggesting people repair their own PSUs? Ever seen the inside of one? They're not for the uninitiated. You'd have to have some solid knowledge of electrical components to even try and troubleshoot it let alone do any repairs and soldering.
Sure your right but maybe it's just something very simple and could be fixed easy,i know it's not worth the time
Yeah, not recomended. Would you rather buy another 100 dollar psu or try to fix your 40 dollar one and potentially destroy the thousand dollar system it powers?
Also, the caps in a psu hold QUITE a shock for you if you touch them.
PSUs fail when too much current is drawn through components, making them overheat. When they overheat many things can go wrong. Resistors can burn out, breaking the connection. ICs/voltage regulators have transistors that can short/open when they're overloaded. There are enough different things in a psu that can break and need to be replaced that it's no where near worth it to fix. And if you put it back in the same conditions, it's just going to blow again.
