Re: Power indicator light is red and the system does
It is an indication of a bad speaker cable providing a short. If it stays lit with no speaker cables plugged in it is an indication that it needs to be serviced.

A shorted speaker cable could cause this... however, what you do is to replace the fuse BUT wire a 150 Watt lamp in series with the power input... This acts as a resetable fuse for testing. If the lamp stays lit, you still have a failure.
Check that the power cord is seated completely. These are hard to work on and if there is a failure in it, it is unlikely you will get it restored in time. I would suggest renting a system until you get it repaired. You need rent only a powered mixer with suitable cables as your speakers should be fine. The way the Fender Passport is packaged makes them difficult to work on.
Read the section of the manual dealing with the voice over function for paging. Available here:http://support.fender.com/manuals/manuals_elec/fenderaudio//PassportP250.pdf Note pages 7, 8 and 9 especially 9 under VIP subject.
if no output from either speaker could be power supply problem. Comment: from my past experience this equipment is not easy to work on suggest you find a good tech
Page 8 of the owners manual explains this and suggests that if their procedure fails to take it into an authorized Fender dealer for service. The manual is dowloadable at Fender.com/support.
go back in and find where the electrolitic capacitors connect to the board. They look kind of like a battery. One or both of them have broken loose from the main board, preventing any significant current from going to the output transformer, and causing overload. This is a common problem, and it does not take much rough handling to cause it.
where the break is is at the solder connection. Under a magnifying glass, the break will look like a little circle. Float fresh solder on that or any other large solder joints which may be cracked or broken.
Use standard precautions when working around high voltage.
