My old boss said to always swap the PSU first on a no-boot, and after 12 years I think that advice is costing us money

A kid I trained at the shop on Route 9 pushed back on me last month when I reached for a spare power supply on a dead Dell, and he was right, because it turned out to be a $6 CMOS battery and a reseated RAM stick, so now I want to know how many of you still lead with the PSU swap or if you go straight to the cheap stuff.
