the fan's motor was most likely damaged when the fan was stopped but had current running through it. your best bet would be to buy a new power supply, if you cannot get the original fan out and find a suitable replacement.

Yeah, that power supply sounds like it is waiting to pop... Those things roll a dice when they go out to, they can take any component with them....
