Hardware observationa

The XBox does the same thing, it's perfectly normal.
And why use a bloody bearing that makes a noise? Why not use one of those other things with the thing in? You know the one. It doesn't make any noise.

Your thinking of a doohickey. Maybe.

Never noticed the bearing rattling around to be honest. But then I'm not prone to shaking or moving my consoles much.

[vertigo]

Nah I was thinking of a doodah, but looking at the datasheet a doohickey is interchangable, just a slightly different pinout.

[no angel]

i'm fairly sure a thingamabob would work as well

[baad bwoy]

...or perhaps a thingamijig if you can't find one of those

Gah - its obvious your flange needs tightning, probably with a couple of grommets and some number 8 wire to fix it.
