Turned my old PC on as i was going to sell it, but heard a POP noise, after about 2 seconds of booting and it switched off. No pwoer atall getting through now so it msut have blown? Would it of fried anything else in the PC? or is it jsut a case of replacing the power supply?

There's no way of knowing.

If the PSU was of decent quality you'll usually be okay.

Have you tried to jump start the PSU?

As above, if the PSU was of decent quality then it hopefully will not have taken anything with it.
