'07 Prius conputer comes on but engine wont start

I started having issues with my car while accelerating. I would accelerate very jerky, like it was struggling to change gears. When i wiuld get up to speed at time it would feel like it dropped back into first gear, with the engine revving high. The power monitor would show that it wasn't pulling from or charging battery. At one point I was driving home from work and i heard a loud pop under the hood. It was louder than a tire blowout. It didnt change the way the car operated, but once i shut off car, the gas engine will not restart or even attempt to start. Best i can describe the sound is as if a very large capacitor blew.

 

I forgot to mention I was getting error code pa078. Drive motor A inverter performance

 

I did open hood. No noticable damage or smell and no oil pool.

148000 miles

 

Inverter looks fine, but i havent opened it yet to check inside

 

The only scanner i have had access to is the one the use at auto zone. The code i mentioned before is the only one that comes up, even after the loud bang and the engine not being able to start

 

Any recommendations for a good tech stream scanner?
