CPU stuck at 0.80Ghz, Fixed by removing keyboard screw (2018) (dell.com)

Found on https://500mile.email/ via another hackernews thread.

Is there also one to increase the memory?

reminds me of https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/72215

What is this a Pentium III?

Sounds like the metal screw shorted one or more signals on the motherboard.

PPE - Piss poor engineering. Quanta might've been to blame since Dell was mostly a sales operation by this time.
