well, get the screw out! can't be that hard to tip the unit over and get the screw to fall out the way it went in.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Do you have it fan facing up???

 

And it depends where the screw is. if you can shake it off to the sides or out, the better -- away from conductive materials.

until you can get it out, do not turn on the PSU

Unfortunately, that is the only way my case lets me

PSU's are equipped with static fans, it can face down with only little breathing room and it will be fine.

Depends on the case.  If it's something like an Antec Nine Hundred, there's absolutely zero room for a PSU to mount fan down.
