Yep. Apple PS's usually go out with a zap and smoke. Sometimes even with a bang, a bright spark and smoke. (Had a chip actually blow up once on an 840 AV PS. Visual inspection showed half of one chip was missing from the voltage regulator board. There was a nice black mark and a dent in the board where there should have been chip.)
Be advised that I've seen PS's take the motherboard with them when they went, so if it is the PS, also check out the MoBo closely to make sure no spikes bit it.
