(headDesk)NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!
This is the way you teach children to stay indoors with the curtains drawn and the lights off becasue the real world is scary and dangerous.
Yes, the inside of a power supply can hurt you, even kill you if you do something _stupid_ like poke it with a fork or lick it to see what the electrons taste like.
If you've got the requisite knowledge to perform an effective repair:-
1) half an ounce of sense
2) some idea of what a power capacitor looks like
3) A piece of resistance wire, a dead toaster, a lightbulb, etc...
4) respect for voltages that will bite you
you'll be fine. You'll save yourself a lot of mony and avoid throwing useable toys into the landfill becasue some scaremonger says "oooh dangerous. Not for baby!!!"
Grr Snarl etc.
