I have less then 24 hours to finish a job, and one of my power supplies goes on the fritz. It's a 48v 16amp regulated switching power supply. When I turned it on today, it made a fast clicking sound, and the lights went dim a little in time to the sound. It is still producing 48v, but I'm afraid to use it. I suspect a chip may have worked itself into the drive. Any idea what is wrong? Can I fix it?

The clicking was it going into shutdown and then trying to restart....open it up and shake out whatever is loose inside of it.

Compressed air will generally force chips to become lodged......use a bright light and magnifying glass to check under any integrated circuits....
