My cps275 +/- 17V light is not on, is it causing stop give the power to my console? I can see the lights on and off a sec when I shut down the cps275 on my console. Checked the fuse, doesn't seems like blew. Does anyone know what is happening?

Does the console work ? if yes, it may just be the power light bulb. If not, well this answer your first question.
If the light bulb is ok and fuses are ok chances are the unit is defective. Could be a few capacitors or resistances..
If you have no experience in electronic diagnostic, bring it to a repare shop.
Or buy another one and keep it as back once you made this one repared :

There is some schematics in the manual : http://www.lacompagnie-events.com/pdf/cps250_275_user_guide.pdf

The console is not working, the light bulb of the cps? No, it doesn't light up, fuse should be fine. But how does that happen? What makes the capacitors or resistances stop working suddenly?

This could be a fault in the console.

Which exact model of console is this powering? Do the power supply lights stay on if you apply mains to the power supply with the d.c. output connector unplugged?

The CPS275 manual says:

The +/-17V rails can withstand a short to ground or each other for up to one second;
if the short circuit remains for longer than one second then both of the 17V rails will
be shut down. To reset them the supply must be switched off for 6 seconds and then
switched on again.

The CPS275 manual says:

Ghost 32LE, yeah PSU lights on but the +/- 17v light off

The manual says F1 (for the +17V rail) and F2 (for the -17V rail) should both be 6.25A for the CPS250 PSU and 10A for the CPS275. You have the CPS275, so the 10A rating is correct. F3 protects the 48V rail, and should be 1A for both PSU models. Note that these fuses must all be T types, i.e. fast-acting - do not replace with a standard type.

So which fuse number (F1 or F2) is the blown one?
