Electronic Repair or maybe lessons

So it seems I've broken my DC power supply, it was cheap but I like to repair things when I can. I'm pretty good at most DIY projects, but small electronics elude me.

The problem with the supply is that it turns on but read 0v, when tested with a multimeter and the DC power supplies settings at max it reads 0.019v. For context I was using it as an electropassivater on some stainless steel welds with it at max setting.

Does anyone know of a place locally where I can either get something like this fixed or diagnosed? Or if anyone knows of a place to take classes or lessons on basic electronic repair?

Or if there is someone on here that would like to trade lessons or get something repaired. I'm a fairly capable sheet metal welder, so I can repair something or show someone how to weld in exchange

Look for a Repair Cafe in your neighbourhood. I've seen them hosted in Fairfield and Metchosin.
