Help please! Just blow up my EQ6. Can I buy a new circuit board from an Australia company?

Back in 2010 I bought replacement boards for my EQ6 Pro mounts. They cost NZ$159 and were easy to obtain. (I ordered them through my local dealer.) No doubt you'll have few problems getting them from someone in Australia too.

I bought a new 10 port powered hub and was plugging the serial to usb into the mount and bang......tripped the house circuit breaker.

update.....

Replaced a burnt smd L1 temporarily with a piece of wire and it's a goer!😀

I need to source this component and replace the wire. Now to checkout the powered hub to find out why.
