There is something loose in my power supply!

Help! I have a 450W 80+ power supply, and I was taking it out of a case and I heard something rattling around in it, I don't know if it is a screw or a cap, or something else. I know that it was working while this thing was rattling around so I don't think it was a vital part of the supply. I don't really want to open it up, any suggestions?

Turn it upside down and see what falls out.

I already tried, and I tried taking the fan grill of and seeing if anything comes out.

what material does it sound like youre moving around if you gently roll it? (while grounded maybe, because i wonder if shipping or something banged an angry capacitor or wire loose)

my 5700XT runs faster than a 2070S

Stupid question I know but can you maybe move it a bit and see if anything moves

It sounds like metal or a heavy plastic

@TofuHaroto I already tried to see wear it is, I think it is next to the fan so it would be hard to get it out just by moving it around.

could be something hitting the fan that broke off or something or a fan bearing went bad and flew somewhere
