[1000mp] Failed FP-29 Power Supply

I believe I have a bad FP-29 power supply.  I was using my Mark V 200 
watt rig last night, heard a pop that sounded like it came from the 
supply and the rig went off.

When I turn the supply on and off the LED comes on bright but quickly 
dims, and the rig will not turn on.

I put my volt meter across the output of the supply I get zip.

When this happened my rig was connected to the antenna, the wind was 
howling as well as snowing.  Is there any chance I took a hit via the 
antenna that some how took out the supply?

My question is should I send the rig in along with the supply or just 
the supply?  It sure would save on shipping if I did not have to send 
the rig in.
