Ouch! Treble trouble.
The reason I ask is that I used to help a local computer repair bod and the first port of call for any machine that was dead on arrival was to check the power supply.
Quite often, lightning had created a surge in the overhead telephone line which took the shortest route to earth which, of course, was via the PSU knackering it in the process.
It was a quick and easy repair and relatively inexpensive.
Sorry to hear that you drew the short straw this time.
