One my 4th test print, Loud Electrical Bang, printer dead.

I can't seem to send a message via the contact form on the help page, so thought I'd post here.

So far I printed one "Buddy", two Prusa logos, and this was my 3rd logo print. It was just finishing off the letters and there was a loud electrical bang and it stopped. I'm going to take a look at fuses and such, but I'm guessing this is more likely an issue in the power supply. Rather scary, but what would you recommend be my next steps?

Click EShop above, log in, and shortly a Chat button will appear.

That will get you to Support, and they can step you through it.

Cool, I'll do that thanks.  I've taken the PS off the printer, and there is stuff rattling around in there.  A cap or something must have popped.

I've marked this post as solved, as I spoke to someone over chat, and they are helping me sort out the PSU issues.  Thanks, @robert-rmm200

Support folks on Chat really have a pretty good reputation for helping users sort out problems.

Not so much EMail Support. Use them only as a last resort.
