If you encounter too many problems getting a replacement board or a whole new power supply, remember that a standard Astron switching power supply might fit into the desktop case, depending on your current requirements. (The transformer-operated supplys are too big and heavy unless you only need 7 Amps.)

Is your power supply bad? Or just missing?

Thank you for Tom and Will's comment.
The power supply is bad / I need to replace all, Is the original power supply obsolete ?
Can you recommend me the model of Anston for the replacement ?

You have to figure out the model number you need. Here is the Astron website:

Check the bridge rectifier diode block they go shorted. Other than that these power supplies are really good.

If you need a power supply you don't need anything larger than 12 amps (9 amp cont).
