    you probably need to resolder the connection where the power plug comes into the power supply, it's a real easy quick job.

    If you heard a crackle, which is basically the sound a spark makes, then yes its possible that the fuse is blown, but the most important thing is to find out why the fuse blew in the first place, so check all leads before replacing the fuse, so when you power it up, it works nicely.
