Here are the details of my 8-year-old iKET 500W power supply. If you're curious about any issues, feel free to ask. The PSU shuts off after a few minutes when the computer is under stress.

Specs:
GPU: GTX 1660 Super
CPU: Ryzen 3 4100
RAM: 16GB DDR4 low frequency
Storage: 1 x NVMe SSD, 1 x SATA SSD

Throw away this PSU immediately. Then, swap it out for a high-quality unit.

There is nothing in a power supply that can be replaced or fixed. You either adapt to what you have or get a new one. Based on the condition in those photos, you must thoroughly clean the system.

From my viewpoint, picture 4 and 6 seem to indicate some issues. One capacitor appears swollen, suggesting a problem, while the other looks damaged like a broken resistor. Based on what I understand about the brand, it could be a fire risk, making its durability impressive considering it lasted eight years.
Strong advice is not to attempt any repairs on that unit right now. Avoid touching the capacitors—they may still hold significant energy even after days. You should focus more on the overall condition of the item.
Also, what currency are you using? Are you located in a state or the UK?

Hey that seems like a Meiji. For instance, the ATX-400W S below is described as an ATX 2.31 PSU capable of delivering a rated 200-250w (possibly "400w" refers to PMPO under certain conditions), and it costs US$26.41 when purchased in quantities of at least qty36. That definitely makes the "500w" claim from your Itek Case PSU seem questionable. I really like the four discrete diodes, which avoided needing a bridge rectifier. Otherwise it appears to be a very early FSP/Sparkle Power design.

The cheapest option is 68 dollars, but I already purchased a Corsair CV 550 for 50 euros on Amazon.
