Abstract
A portable handheld device receives from a central repository, information on a failed hardware component of a computational device, wherein the information includes an authentication code to permit access to the failed hardware component and a time window in which the failed hardware component is permitted to be accessed. The portable handheld device uses the authentication code to access the failed hardware component for repair or replacement during the time window.
