The best tool for repairing switching supplies (or monitors, for that
matter) - an ESR meter.   Out of all of the test gear I've purchased
over the years, this one probably gets the most use!   They use such a
low voltage, you can usually use them in-circuit without having to
desolder the component off the board before testing.   Only takes a
few minutes to go through a power supply and identify the suspect
electrolytics.

  Agreed 100%.   I use an HP 4276A for exactly that.
