[Power supply dead after being connected when switched to 230V]

It seems unlikely that it would fail when set to too _high_ a voltage - I
would have expected it the other way round, but not as you describe.
Unless the design is extremely strange, I think it ought to be OK.
Perhaps it failed for some other reason ?

I would agree with the posts that said to replace the whole thing, but I
would change the fuses ONCE just in case, if still no good, then throw it 
away.  I _have_ seen a fuse blow because it was tired, but more than
once indicates a fault.

Good luck with the fix.

Howard.
