Plugged in system into a 3 prong adapter and heard a lot pop and saw a spark. Circuit breaker also popped. Tried to plug system into a transformer a few weeks later and nothing came on. Suspect that my power supply got fried.
Is this a good question?

Well i guess you're right. Sounds like a toasted power supply. Just hope that it did'nt fry any other vital parts of the machine.
