Definitely confirm they are sending your the whole power supply. You don't want to be responsible for changing out parts.

From reading various laser forums, the part that most often fails on these power supplies is the flyback transformer or converter.

I’m pretty sure it’s just going to be another transformer. Another guy on fb said it’s pretty easy to change. We shall see
