This is my first time building a pc i was troubleshooting some other problems i was having but my friend told me to flip the red switch in the psu to 220 i did that and now it’s not turning on anymore i tried turning everything off, turning it back to 110, and blowing the fan of psu for 1 minute to rotation nothing seemed to work help.

if you flipped that red switch, then PSU fuse is blown, that will need to be repaired

You need a new friend. Someone with a bit of a clue.

Where are you located on this planet?
What is the voltage where you live?

Well, at the very least, you've killed the fuse in the PSU.
NOTE: This is not a user fixable thing.

And even if it wasn't 'dead'. the Apevia PSU needs to be tossed in the Recycle Bin anyway.
Pure junk.

So...get a new, good quality PSU. And hope nothing else died in your system.

You pretty much upgraded the PSU as it's objectively superior now that there's no chance of anyone accidentally using it. That your friend told you to crank click the voltage switch -- which shouldn't even be on any PSU worth buying in the last 15 years -- then they're dangerously incompetent and you should never listen to their advice in this area again.

Here's one popular PSU tier list.

Tier B in a pinch, preferably Tier A. Don't even look at anything below.

I haven't seen a computer PSU with a red voltage 110/220V AC selector switch since AT PSUs were superseded by ATX PSUs back in 1995.

It takes me back to the days when equipment still had voltage selector switches.
