After a power outage, I have discovered that the 65W power adaptor (A1096 661-3760) driving a 20" apple cinema display is no longer working. A different brick from another display works fine. I was wondering whether I might be able to service this power adaptor myself? Are there online guides for dissembling the adaptor and checking if maybe a fuse has blown?
Thanks for any advice...

My guess is not even apple bothers to repair something like a power adapter. A google search shows it can be replaced (albeit not cheaply). It's probably dangerous to fiddle with too since you have line voltages to deal with.
You could call a place like Mac-Pro to see what their opinion of repairing it is. They sell that adapter but also repair mac stuff.
Dear X423424X,
Thanks for replying. I get the idea from the views here and the post I put at iFixit that this is not ever supposed to be fixed, as you suggest as well. It is frustrating that the display works fine, and it will cost $100 to replace the brick.
I will look into a local shop for repair, but I think I am stuck.
Thanks again for your time.
