It's beyond easy if you can solder. Getting to the power supply is fairly straightforward, and the blown capacitor is readily available at radio shack, so swapping the capacitor out probably involves less effort and expense than purchasing a replacement power supply - even if you have to learn to solder or find someone to do it. Probably takes less than an hour.
Besides, you will end up with a more reliable power supply, and feel good about solving your problem.
