Did my PSU just blow?

So, about 15 minutes ago I was watching a movie on my PC, heard a quick pop and everything shut off. Checked the main fuse box and the fuse to my living room was tripped. Turned it back on but my PC won't turn on. There's no smoke, no smell, and I can't see any burn marks. I opened my PSU but can't seem to see where the fuse is in there to possibly see if it was a surge and just blew internally. Any advice?

Yes very likely, do you have another PSU to try? Also, another possibility is the mobo was fried. But I think it's a PSU issue.

I don't have a way to test them but I am going to take it to a shop nearby and have them test everything for me. I hope it's just the psu and I can replace that easily. I just wanted some second opinions.

If you heard a pop sound most of the time it's the PSU.

I hope that's all that is damaged.
