Serial ports use the negative supply rail (About the only thing in a PC
that does), if the power supply did anything stupid when it blew up it
may have blown the serial port driver up.

Try a mouse or something on the port, but thats not a conclustive
indication since mice dont need a negative rail to operate. Otherwise
try a modem or something on the same port and check that it works ok..
