ATC Fuse Panel Fried?

Well, I suppose I never should've said that this year's electronics were the best set yet, because as we were trying to (finally) get a driving robot today, I turned on the power only to notice that our Spikes and one of the Victors weren't lighting up. Upon further inspection, we found that the connections leading to the ATC fuse panel (the big one, not the small one) were fine, as they all worked fine on the small one, but that the fuse panel itself seems to have been blown. Does anyone know how this might have happened?

While we were transferring the board today to a workshop less afflicted by the Chicago snow, it's possible that the panel could have gotten snow in it, although we did wait about two hours before actually turning any power on. It's also possible that some sawdust or small metal shavings may have gotten in the panel, although I'm told that this has never been an issue before. We've ordered a new one from IFI just in case, but if anyone knows how to fix it, that would be great! We're currently not supplying power to two of our Spikes so that we can keep using the small breaker.
