Computer suddenly lost power and would not restart. No power at all. Tried different power cable. Tried resetting power management unit.

Ordered power supply from ifixit.com and used online guide to replace power supply. Not to hard just had to take time and double-check things as I worked. We've got 15+ of these models so now I know I can fix myself. Used repair as excuse to get Pro Tech Toolkit so now I have some decent tools.

Should have ordered some screen cleaner just in case but luckily was able to keep the lcd screen clean without dust or fingerprints getting on screen. Also, take care with internal wires and connectors. Most are very small and delicate and my fat fingers don't fit too well. Didn't break any but will be more careful next time.
