My MP3 player has died

Hi
Has anyone had a n MP3 player blow the mains trip switch while charging up. I plugged my Phillips go gear in to recharge and a few hours later there was a really loud bang and the downstairs power cut out. As it was on a multiple socket with the tv VCR and sky box it was a case of praying they were all OK. Thank goodness they were.
I presume that the battery has blown up

I managed to switch it on but when I linked it to the laptop it switched itself off and now is dead.

I would have thought the mains charger has blown, that's pretty well the only thing that could take the trip out. Presumably it's a switch-mode design, and it's gone S/C?.
