Of course, this won't apply to all power supplies, but exercise caution... if you touch off a charged capacitor in a PS you could lose a finger, no joke.

I swapped one once, and it wasn't a problem, but one time is only anecdotal, so I don't know what will happen in your case.
That said do be careful with the capacitor.
