If you are somewhat mechanic/electrical you can get the numbers off the power supply and go on eBay find one fairly cheap. Most older computers power supply held in by 4 screws. Simply note wiring when up clipping and remove the four screw. Assuming you know how to get the panels off. Utube has several how to's on simple computer repairs. If you have the ability you can save $. This also could be hard drive corruption. Some times old computers aren't worth repair due to hard drive corruption from years of malware/virus?

I've got old 98 HP I like playing games on the CDs are old and won't run on newer computers. I got new hard drive off bay for 20 bucks and several other parts to keep it running for intertainment purposes only. Computers after 2005 are much easier to work on most drives and parts just slide out or un clip.
