On closer examination there appears to be no bridge rectifier, only one of the four diodes that should be there are present.
It's just a total piece of cost cutting practice to leave out the other three diodes which make up th bridge rectifier.
I may if I can be botherd, put all the diodes in that are missng, and replace the one that was blasted also, so at least there will be a bridge in it and see what happens.
In any case I have loads of old phone chargers which can be adapted to be used, only need to fit USB female
