Yeah, been there done that. Just be careful when you take it apart; a 
switched powersupply has large capacitors in it that will hold a (very 
unpleasant) charge for quite a while after being unplugged from the mains. 
You'll want to make sure those are discharged before you touch it - leave it 
unplugged for a good while (couple hours? can't remember if that's enough) 
before you start working on it. 

Thanks, 
Ward.
