A friend of mine was looking at my computer which would not boot. While the computer was turned on (all fans was running), he got the marvelous (sarcasm) idea that he should switch the watt input on the power supply from 230 to 115. I was sitting at the other side of the room while he did this. Suddenly I heard a loud BANG and then I saw smoke rising up from the power supply while the sound the fans were fading. Luckily neither he nor I was hurt by this accident but I am worried about the components which were attached to the power supply; did they make it or not? Does anyone of you out there know?

it is quite possible and most probable that the componants were fried with the psu unfortunately. you can look at the circutry to see if there are any burn marks around the power connectors, chips and anything else sticking out of the chipboards, if there are none then they MAY have made it, but you can replace the power supply to check this. it is likely that any CD/DVD/HDD/floppy drives survived, but the only way to check properly would be to put them into a functional system.

Most propably at least some of the components (very propably the motherboard, propably any other) were damaged to some degree by the "accident". Only way to know is testing...

There are no burn marks as I can see. I'll just have to cross my fingers and try with another psu on saturday.

If there is no burn marks..most probably the only damage is the power supply only so don't worry the mother burn is not damage and the other parts also.
