English term or phrase: knocked anything loose
CLOSE AND RESTART
Check all your internal connections and ensure that you haven’t knocked anything loose. Close the case and reconnect the computer.

On vient d'expliquer comment nettoyer l'intérieur de l'ordi, avec chiffon, coton-tige etc. Pour cela on a ouvert le boîtier.
Là, j'hésite entre deux interprétations :
-assurez-vous de n'avoir rien débranché ?
-assurez-vous de n'avoir rien laissé tomber ?

Merci !

de n'avoir rien déplacé


Explanation:
Neither of those, really! It just means make sure you haven't accidentally knocked against a plug and made it come loose, for example... or shifted a cable so that it rubs against a fan! That sort of thing...
