An interesting video. Seems like a lot of work for a $35 PSU. I doubt that a normal end user consumer would want to go to this depth or have the necessary tools.
I'm a tech, with the proper equipment (even a limited SMT workstation) , but would not attempt a power supply repair. One has to be careful of voltages stored in caps even after powered off. Second, a schematic is needed to properly troubleshoot and they are not available. Third proprietary parts in power supplies are not available to the general public.
Finally, as noted, 99.9% of users would not do that just buy a new replacement.
