Power supplies that are not switching types have large heavy
transformers in them. These types of power supplies have not
been around for a very very long time. The switching types
are a lot less expensive to build and are more efficient.

However, they are more difficult to repair and often the labor
costs are not worth it over purchasing a new one.
