Aside from a completely 'dead' machine, one quick indicator of a defunct
power supply may the absence of some sound-- like you hear no high-pitched
whine-- when power is turned ON.
Unusual sounds can indicate a short (you may hear clicks) or no-load from
a broken or bad connection (you may hear clicks and/or squealing). Before
declaring a power supply dead it's a good idea to check for things like a poor
power supply connector connection, a blown ON/OFF switch, and an AC line cord
which has developed a break.
One approach to checking is to measure voltages in the computer or
whatever is supposed to be powered by the power supply.
For example, in an Apple IIe, you could turn ON the computer and check
voltages across a few 74xxxx series IC's-- like a 74LS02, 74LS139, etc.. Your
Voltmeter's Positive lead would touch pin 14 (on 14-pin 74xxxx IC's) and
Negative would go to pin 7 (again, on 14-pin 74xxxx IC's). The reading should
be 5 Volts DC.
