I bought this thing on Amazon Black Friday and yesterday the power inverter went out. I haven’t been super impressed with the set up anyways. Has anybody tried anything else that’s a little more convenient maybe like a battery booster for a car or something like that?

Battery booster won't help you. You need 25+ amps for feed the pump from 12 volt. Battery booster box or battery charger will not deliver the power you need.
What do you mean "it went out?" Did the magic smoke come out?
I have had the same power supply from CS3 and CS4 for over 5 years - never had any problems with it. You can't run it with a skinny extension cord. I have used the kind of power supply for over 15 years - rarely do they fail.

OK, that’s good to know. It just stopped working. It was plugged directly into the wall no fan know anything.

Did the outlet stop working? Troubleshoot 101.
Are the wires connected securely?
Did the power supply stop, or did the pump stop?
Is it still not working (did you unplug, turn off, switch to a different wall socket and try again?)
Did you try the pump directly off your car battery?

I plugged it in. It turned on. I had the relief valve open. I turned the compressor on. It. Ran for about three seconds and turned off. No power no fan. I unplugged. It went to a different outlet that I tested and it still didn’t work.

There is a 220v/110v slider that needs to be in the right position. Make sure it is all the way to the 110v side

You have a CS4 with an external power supply, correct. A friend has a CS4-i with a bad internal power supply. He bought this power converter from Amazon.
The power supply has been tested and it works.

Home from work today and was planning on taking it apart to see if I could see a loose wire or something. Maybe check the power supply cord. And a damn thing works. I plugged it into the exact same plug in the house filled up my air gun it’s been running for about a half hour now

There is a thread somewhere here where someone found some burnt out electrical parts on the inside and was able to fix it. Just in case yours eventually dies. I actually really like the external supply setup. I look at that converter as a disposable commodity. If it dies just trash it and order another one. No tearing into the compressor. Mine has been going over two years.

Many devices have thermal fuses ("polyfuses"), so once it cooled off it may have reset itself.
