I have personally found several instances in power supplies I either own 
or have repaired where the green power wire lug is firmly attached by 
the bolt and nut.   It however was nicely insulated by the paint!.     
Visual inspection is the best way to determine if an issue exists.  Do 
take time to remove the bolt and nut securing  the wire lug to the 
chassis.   Clean the area to bright shining metal where the lug would 
come in contact with the chassis.  Then reattach the green wire and lug 
with the original nut and bolt.
