Blown power supply - or is my whole Triton LE dead?

Grateful for any tips. I lent my Triton LE keyboard to a friend in Brazil (where I used to live). He either kept it plugged in (110-120 standard voltage) and it took a power surge at some point, or, he may have accidentally plugged it into to a 220 voltage socket at some point - (a constant danger to electronics in Brazil since a lot of houses has both types of voltage available). In any event, I now have the keyboard back, but it won't turn on. Will getting a new power supply fix this problem, or is it more likely the whole keyboard got fried? By the way, I've noticed that when I plug in the power supply, it doesn't get warm as usual. Thanks for any tips

I'm pretty sure the power supply can handle 220v so the power surge is very possible. I'm not sure if the LE has an easily accessible fuse, but I'd tear it apart and check if there is and see if it's blown.

If the PS is not getting warm, is probably dead. KORG Keyboards usually come with multi volt power supplies, and can handle both voltage ranges with no issues, but a power surge can fry them.

If you can borrow someone else's PS and test it on your keyboard before purchasing another one might be a good idea.
