You might be lucky and just blown a fuse in the power unit ( a few pence). Have a look inside and see.
You might be less lucky and blown the power unit itself (about 30 quid). This may need a technician to test. (£50 + parts at PC World)
You may have been very unlucky and damaged the motherboard (about £120).

Assuming that it was on 230 volt setting to begin with and was working, you have applied 230 volts to a circuit that is supposed to run on 115 volts .
That will fry the power supply. If the power supply was fused you may be lucky and just have to replace the fuse.
