hi
first of all are you sure its the power supply?
what are the symptoms?
you can get a power supply from ali express for about $60
can you press the diagnostic button and check the LEDs that light up? check my post:

help diagnosing Faulty trashcan 6.1
so my trash can died again! I have already spent £700/$900 getting it fixed a couple of years ago. Symptoms are Led lights on the I/O panel turn on but noting happens when the power button is pressed. I have removed the lid and used a magnet near the power button to "energise" the system...

I purchased a power supply a while back because I thought a new one could maybe solve a noise problem. Sadly it didn't fix anything but it's working like it should...
I bought mine from China. At that time I think there were three sellers who sold the power supplies. I think one of them was this seller:

I live in Denmark and therefor the final price was 121EUR after VAT and import fee. To me that is by no means expensive and I simply tried to solve a noise problem

I found all the answers to my questions. When the diag button is pushed, only lights 2 and 5 lite up, all the others are off. In addition, when the power button is pushed, the white lights on the IO rear panel, the ones surrounding all the ports, goes on for about 15 seconds then they turn off.

Use a one-time number - and then wipe everything with a Clorox wipe when it arrives.
I had the same concerns about Aliexpress the first time I used it, but my experience has been good.
For my first few purchases, I used a prepaid Visa card that I only load with enough money to pay for what I'm ordering. It otherwise sits in a drawer waiting for my next wary purchase.

If anybody cares. My local Apple Premier partner store had some used refurbished tcMP's for sale and I got one for $800. More than a new P/S obviously but simpler in execution. It's now running with 32G of ram and purring like a kitten. Will keep the old one for spare parts if they are ever needed.
