I cleaned my PC and after I put everything back in place I plugged the power cord in the PSU and then I accidentaly switched the voltage from 230 to 130 and I heared a loud sound and a blue light.... The PC was not turned on, just plugged in. The PC would not turn on anymore but I changed the PSU with another one and thankfully no hardware was damaged, everything worked as it should... That happened a few months back but now I want to know if that PSU is really dead or if I can do anything to repair it... I already repaired two of my older PSUs in the past but for this one I don't even know what's wrong with it but I believe it is fried. Also I have not opened it because it is still covered by warranty althou I'm not sure if it covers this kind of damage... If there is ANY way to get it working please tell me :)  because the current PSU is borrowed from a friend and I don't have money to invest in this PC anymore...

The PSU is fried, and warranty does not cover what you did.
