If it's the older version it would have started spewing out HORRIBLE 
stinking plumes of smoke from a melted mains smoothing capacitor by 
now and leaked hideous brown gunk over the inside of the back panel!

Then you would have had to spend hours breaking open the mains inlet 
and prizing away the fused and melted remains of the capacitor and 
the plastic housing from rest of the inlet, being careful not to 
crack and break the good bit of the housing, and then rewired the 
connectors back. Not forgetting working out a way to clean the gunk 
from the case while you're at it.

If none of that rings a bell then you probably have the new power supply.:)
