i was building a new pc and i just finished building it when i noticed a switch on the back of my power supply. I plugged my cable in the power supply and changed the switch to 115v and there was a big big bang!!

and now all of the wall outlets or wall sockets don't work. They don't work in the room where i had a big bang and in the hall and in the kitchen.

is there any way i can at least get my wall sockets or wall outlets working again.

I had the same problem but with a stereo system. It was at school one day and one of the teachers asked me to set up the stereo system. It was only me and the teacher and he left the room so I was alone. So I set it up and it wasn't working, so I flipped that little red switch and I also heard a BANG! and it started smoking and smelt of singed stereo. Luckily the electricity didn't trip! So I learnt not to flip any red switch at the back of and psu and any electronic device. Hope you learnt your lesson too!
