Converter fried?

A Mexican campground fried our RV's converter. Our mistake for not testing the outlets at the campground: they were incorrectly wired at 240V! (it also killed our microwave; luckily, the A/C and rest of the appliances were unharmed)

We've been traveling full-time (in Central America) for about 4 months since it happened and really don't miss the converter. We have LED lighting in the RV so we can go without electrical hookup for 3-4 days, before needing to use the generator and the battery charger for a few hours.

Anyway, we crossed back into the States yesterday and now have easy access again to RV repair and/or a new converter.
Question is: does anyone know if it's possible to fix a 'fried' converter? I don't see any fuses on there.

Thanks,

Jorn
