Help

I was re-connecting my Microvitec monitor to my Miggy 1200 today whilst I
was busy watching the telly.  I hadn't noticed that the monitor was switched
on, the Miggy by the way was turned off but connected to the mains.  There
was a flash and a bang and everything went dead.  I couldn't believe what I
had done.  After changing a couple of fuses, a nervous check revealed a
slightly sooty and damaged video socket on the Miggy, monitor OK(checked on
my PC) but the onscreen display on the Miggy was basically very dark with
yellow icons and a sort of yellow band to the right of each icon, and that
was it.  What have I blown, and is it worth repairing baring in mind the
price of a second hand machine?
