Hi

Wow that looks bad. Sorry your pi blew up. It will have been a power supply problem like others have said. You will have to get a new pi and a power supply.

I am still learning the world of Raspberry Pi, apologies if I double post.

I've learnt one thing about Raspberry Pi: You fix an issue, but then you discover another.

That is cheap. I would worry more if the house had burned with the RPi. That is by the way one reason why I prefer to switch off appliances before I leave the house.
