Troy, are you absolutely sure it is dead? I've had this type of thing happen to me before, including a PSU on my desktop when I accidently flipped it from 240 to 110 V! But it had a built-in safety mechanism, e.g. a two-metal wire, that conduct (and bend) deferentially. Once the wires cool down and make contact again (i.e. wait a few hours), the unit worked once again. The 'smoke' in that case was ozone created by the arc. I'd suggest trying it again now, just in case...
