Why each option
To diagnose a potentially failed power supply, a multimeter is the most suitable tool for checking voltage outputs.
ESD equipment is used to prevent electrostatic discharge damage to components, not to test power supply functionality.
A multimeter is used to measure electrical properties like voltage, current, and resistance, making it ideal for testing if a power supply is delivering the correct voltages to internal components. This direct measurement helps confirm whether the power supply is functioning within specifications.
A POST card displays BIOS POST codes to diagnose system startup issues, but it does not directly test the power supply's output voltages.
A toner probe is used to trace network cables and identify cable runs, which is unrelated to power supply testing.
