Normally if a supply is set to 230 and hooked to 110, little, if any damage
occurs, unless it is switched while on..The other way around, big problem.
Will it power up at all? Details?

I'm trying to figure out the damage that possibly resulted when this rig

was
powered up with the red button set to 230 volts. It was brought to us by a
mother. Could the CPU be fried or more likely the Power Supply?......Ram,
Motherboard also.......any ideas from past experiences or stories of
likewise situation would be greatly appreciated......her children are
anxious to get their computer back........I know,....kids can ruin things
quicker than a blink...

All ideas welcomed!
