Crap Wrong Voltage Switch

[SoraYuki]

So uhh my friend has been fiddling with his PC and mistook this little voltage switch as power on and off (little red toggle switch according to him that says 115 and 230 or something

, I'm clueless about what is it tbh cause I'm using Corsair VS650), he plugged in the psu and a spark came off in the plug itself (not the PSU) and he immediately plugged it out, the switch is then mentioned to me (over a phone call) that it says 115, and unfortunately his wall socket is 220v, his PSU is Huntkey 450w 80+ White, my question now are :

 

-is there any chance that the mishap is isolated in the PSU alone?

-is it possible for it to still work it's switched back to 230 mode?

-how high is the chance of it doing irreversible damage to other components?

 

Thank you for quick response

The psu is toast because it got over volted so.... Most likely is the whole pc toast but he can try to change the psu. That is the only thing. I would not recomend using that pc again.

The rest of the system could be ok. I've seen some PSU's that have a good fuse setup, and the fuse blows way before any other components.

The PSU is likely beyond dead while everything else should be fine.

 

The chance is relatively high though since it's a shitty PSU with little protections for other components. This is why we buy decent PSUs that don't have ancient technology like lacking auto-switching AC power!

Since it is galvanically isolated from the secondary side (the place where your components it is hooked up), the damage should be with the primary stage of the PSU and I would like to say that your components should be fine.
