Was the projector operating at the time of the outage or was it in standby mode i.e. power connected but projector was not on?
Only ask because it appears as though the outage may have damaged the power supply in the projector. If it was in standby mode then hopefully the power board took the brunt of the surge. If it was operating at the time the damage could have extended further into the projector’s circuitry.
Not trying to alarm you just something that may have to be considered.

Question I also always ask is if the projector may be covered by your household contents insurance policy. Just something to think about.

The projector, will have to be opened and the boards, especially the power board, will need to be examined for burnt out or blown components. Obviously do this with the power totally disconnected from the projector.
Post some close up images of any damage (or even if you can’t see any damage) that you notice on the power board and any other board that looks suspect back here so that others can see if there is anything obviously amiss.
Here's how to do this.

Also FYI if you experience a number of power outages where you are, it may be prudent to invest in good plug in surge protectors that you connect the device to and it plugs into the wall outlet to safeguard your devices from power surges created by outages. By “good” I mean one that indicates that it has operated in the event of a power surge and has protected the device that is connected to it. Cheaper protectors are also of the sacrificial type like the good ones but give no indication that they may have operated due to a surge and can still keep the power supplied to the device after the surge but offer no protection when another power surge occurs, unbeknownst to you.

Post some images back here and see if there is anything obviously amiss and go on from there.
