Well you could not find $20 to by a multimeter, but found $60 to buy a power supply? Then you did exactly what was recommended as not doing? How do you expect to get the computer fixed when you follow your feelings rather than facts?

Meanwhile, even a defective power supply can boot a computer. How do you expect to confirm power supply integrity again without the meter?

Replacing a power supply based only upon wild speculation is, well, ... you tell me. Exact same reasoning proved Saddam had WMDs or that it was safe to launch seven Challenger astronaut to their murder.

You still need a multimeter if fixing the computer is your intent. Appreciate the value of what you just did. The value in making mistakes - we learn from them.
