Replacing power supply in Kronos2-61

Does anyone have step-by-step instructions or video?
I have the Kronos/KronosX service manual from 2012, and it has some photos, but it is not the same as Kronos2. Taking the bottom panel off, it looks like I will have to remove the top control panel to get at the screws that hold the power supply assembly to the chassis. I'm a little timid about doing that much disassembly in my living room, as I don't have nearly enough space in my garage workshop. It's a million degrees in my garage at this time of year, anyway.

After the bottom panel, you have to disconnect the action and move it out of the way so to access the screws securing the power supply and especially have enough room to work and remove the power supply.

Not quite the PSU but it shows a few pics further down how to open the Kronos.

Could you write what kind of power supply you plan to install? An original one, oder a DIY version?

I have an OEM power supply that I got from Full Compass.
Hoping that replacing it will make it more stable.

But, as usual, taking it apart and re-seating all the relatively easily-accessed connectors seems to have improved stability for now. I haven't seen "A problem has been detected" for a few weeks now. But I'm not liking the anxiety I feel on gigs, that it could flake out again at any time.
