    Is it safe to open a dead PSU?

    So my 6 year old Corsair VS450 died (Yeah I know its a cr@p PSU but I was 12 year old when I made that purchase). From the back exhaust vent I can see something with TNY177PN printed on it with a hole in it. Probably that's what failed (there was smell and audible bang when it happened, all...

    Update - My friend is contemplating on getting a cheap secondary card like GT1030 so he can use it as an output for that 60hz panel. Will it solve the problem in such case?
