Fizzle, Pop, then something rolling around inside

After several hours of light use, a fizzling sound started from somewhere near the right speaker. This was followed, a second or two later, by a small pop. I picked it up and heard something rolling around inside that was definitely not there before.

The computer still runs fine, but I'm obviously concerned. I'm taking it in this week for repairs. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

A similar problem developed in my Week10 the last couple of days. I didn't sense anything rolling around, but a horrible, steady knocking sound developed in the right speaker area. It's not there when the machine is completely cold, but develops as it warms-up and really bangs after a hot reboot. I took mine in for service this morning.

Good luck.
