  • Disabling a mobile device that has stolen hardware components
    Patent number: 10750370
    Abstract: A first hardware component identifier may be read for a first hardware component of a computing device. The reading of the first hardware component identifier for the first hardware component may be performed by a processor of the computing device reading a read-only memory of the first hardware component. A second hardware component identifier and an alert indicator over a network may be received. The second hardware component identifier and the alert indicator may correspond with the first hardware component. The first hardware component identifier may be compared with the second hardware component identifier. The computing device may be disabled when the first hardware component identifier matches the second hardware component identifier and the alert indicator indicates that the first hardware component has been reported stolen.
