Ecobee 3 fried?

I have an Ecobee 3 running an electric furnace. I have a 24v adapter plugged in because the furnace only has 2 wires.

We just had a 48 hour power outage from a windstorm and the thermostat is not turning on now that we're have power again. I have had to reset several of the GFCIs today but this adapter was not plugged into a GFCI. I saved the old thermostat I removed and wired it back up and the furnace works fine, so my thought is either the Ecobee short circuited or the adapter blew a fuse? There's no external screws on the adapter so I'll probably have to test those wires with a multimeter.

Anyone ever experienced this? Recommendations?

Does the furnace turn on with the other thermostat?

There's usually a fuse on your furnace circuit board. Check to make sure that isn't blown.

Sounds like when the power came back on it fried your ecobee. Hope I am wrong.
