hi as i was unplugging the main power cable from my power supply when the whole socket poped out and i could see the wires behind it with solder joints. this is when the big flash happend and small boom. i almost got electrocuted. the power supply is corsair make but when i took it off nothing seems to have burned. i am wondering if its safe to try using it again but i don't know because surely when i come to take the plug cable out again it will tug the whole socket from the power supply again. is this normal or safe to use?

i am trying to rma the psu with the manufacturer. i don't know if you are correct but i have attached this photo to show where the flash occured. as you can see the flash occured on the soldered bit so i don't know if fuse could have exploded because there was no smell or smoke coming from it. obviously the socket just jumped out which shouldn't have and i was stupid enough to to leave the electricity on while trying to pull the cable out. anyway here is the photo
