RE: Power supplied fried?
the switch is used to adapt the power supply for usage with different voltages, not wattages.
230v (220v) is used in most (if not all) european countries, whereas 115v (or 110v) is used in the USA amongst others.

so basically, when you switched from 230v to 115v and tried to turn it on while plugged in to a 230v socket, the power supply got twice the voltage it was expecting to get...

in short: yeah, it's fried... might be just a fuse, depending on your specific model.
This does not mean that the other parts in your pc are totally unharmed; the power supply could have taken some parts down with it.
