Ender 5 stopped working mid print, power supply seems dead.

Context: I have had my ender 5 for almost a year now. Besides small structural mods the only mod is I added a Bltouch. Was like 1 hour into the print and it stopped. Can't power it now. Screen still works when I turn on the raspberry pie, but nothing else gets power. Tried the outlet, still works. Power supply was also at the right voltage. Do you think it just died or is there like a fuse I could change?

Same thing happened to mine. No visible signs of damage or wear. I bought this one and haven't had any issues yet and my printer runs for about 12-16 hours a day. Very easy to replace

Thank you! I have ordered it after checking with a multimeter and realising that it is in fact dead

Open it up and see how it looks?

I did and I don't see anything "burned" or wierd but I also don't know what I'm looking at.

Pretty sure recall seeing a fuse inside the power supply when I last opened up the box. Check that. It's a little glass one.

There no glass thing in there at all. Only a small led

Your screen is getting power from the 5v coming off the usb cable from the pi. I personally recommend even after replacing the power supply, take a small sliver of duct tape and cover the 5v pin on the side of the cable that plugs in to the pi. After you do this when you start turning off the printer via the front switch, the screen will turn off as well.
