Yep, looks like someone put in 5 mm screws instead of the two 3 mm screws that secure the palmrest there Precision 7520 / Xeon E3-1535m v6 / 32 gb DDR4 2666 MHz CL15 / GTX 1650 Mobile / LP156QHG-SP(V1) Precision 7540 / i9-9980HK / 32 gb DDR4 2666 MHz CL15 / RTX 4000 / LP156QHG-SP(V1) / Delta Fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meowpressreturn Posted yesterday at 07:14 AM Share Posted yesterday at 07:14 AM I have a similar bump on my Precision 3551. It was added by the Dell tech back when they were doing the second, or was it third? motherboard replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tester Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago Seller said it was there since buying it, the thing is; it looks symmetrical? Is it a confirmed poorly repaired/refurbished laptop? Specs are on max and it's a nice laptop but that put me off buying it immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I got my 7540 it was missing most screws and it only had one heatspreader for the main SSD. Usually they come with all heatspreaders. Whoever worked on it cheaped out, a LOT. Even the SSD was not original and was in bad shape enough to be discarded.
