You don't need either a hammer or a wrench, but you would need to know
which end of a soldering iron to hold in order to fix that power supply.
There's one component that pops, the X2 filter capacitor, that needs
replacement - it will be obvious once you open the metal housing which
is that component. But in the mean time, besides the smell, there
really isn't much danger in continuing to run that power supply even
with the blown filter cap...
