Default PLEASE HELP

so... long story short - girlfriend's cell phone charger fell apart in my cigarette lighter. sparks and such, it was quite a show. now, guess what... it doesnt work.
is the whole thing busted, or did it just blow a fuse? it would make sense that it was just a fuse, but normally several things go to the same fuse, and everything else is still working fine for me.
any input would be greatly appreciated, and yes, i am going to replace the fuse tomorow, i just have to buy one first. if that doesnt work, you'll be hearing from me
thanks
chris

The cigarrete lighter is fused by itself. Replace the fuse and you'll be good to go. It probably took you longer to type this question than it would have to check the fuse.

AAAHAHAHAHA...
oh man, i cant believe how easy that was. i have only had the car for a year, and have never needed to go into the fuse panel. my last car was a lot less siple, so i figured a bimmer would be all complex and stuff.
wow, we all have our moments, huh?
