dead doepfer ps help

[pelagius pelagius]

Gee, thanks for the help.  I guess you're saying that using doepfer equip is 
bad for diy?  Whatever.  The reason I'm posting to this list is that I 
recently built a nice big cabinet to house my doepfer modules so I can add 
blacet, paia, and hopefully some diy stuff.  Unfortunately I'll need some 
help since I'm a musician, not an engineer, but I guess this list isn't the 
place to look for that help.

If anyone out there does have the heart to give me some advice, here's the 
problem:
When I put in a new fuse the power supply turns on for a second and then the 
leds fade out almost immediately, and the fuse is burnt out.  Does that 
sound like the circuit is just dead, or is there any chance it's some kind 
of grounding problem?  My cabinet is made of wood, so I just tried to attach 
the ground lug to the metal frame that the power supply is bolted on.  Would 
that have fried the supply?  I really do not want to have to buy a new power 
supply if there is just something dumb I'm overlooking.  I also wouldn't 
want to buy a new ps and fry it as well if there is some grounding issue I'm 
overlooking.  Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
