Intel Anti-Theft Recovery Screen

Hi, I own an HP 8540w laptop which I no longer have proof of purchase for. Recently, the laptop got wet and no longer booted up so I purchased a used motherboard off of ebay and now after installing I get the following screen.
"This Computer is currently in a Stolen State.
To recover, you must present the correct passphrase"
ISV id: 2000
I have never set this up on my laptop but it must have been triggered from the replacement motherboard I put in. Can someone tell me how I would go about getting rid of this Intel Anti-Theft Recovery Screen?
Thanks

Works perfectly!

Intel Anti Theft Service with my new X1?

Hiya, just ordered & received my new X1 with an i7 core over the last week.
Interesting and educational tracking the laptop all the way from China to UK via UPS...
Anyway, all seems to be in order apart from one small niggle.
I have noticed an "Intel Management Engine" systray icon running on the OS installed, in particular the Intel Anti Theft technology service.
My question is how do I register and enable this? There is NOTHING within the software or the printed documentation which had come with the laptop explaining this. There are no buttons on the systray config screen enabling you to do anything.
When I open the systray icon it says:
Intel AMT: Enabled
Intel AT: Enabled
And if i got to Intel AT tab, it says: "Status as of last boot: Not Enrolled"
How the hell do I enroll? I tried going to intel's AT service webpage, and basically you need to register, however for the registration you need some kind of a code. Their website says the code should have come printed on the leaflet with the laptop. I have the box laptop had come in, in front of me together with all the documentation - there is absolutely nothing mentioning Intel AT, no codes or anything of the kind.
Is this AT service something you have to pay extra for?
I would like to suggest Lenovo includes further information on Intel AT with their laptops supporting Intel AT which have Intel AT software preinstalled. I am an IT professional yet found Intel AT's systray options very confusing.
What should I do?

Intel Anti Theft not working properly

I am having problems with Itel Anti Theft keep locking every 7 days as my lap top is not communicating with the Intel server. Intel will not help me with the problem, I can not get past the call center in India, they keep promising to call me back by a "senior techniian" but no call back.
Help please.

The Intel Anti-Theft technology isnt Toshiba feature
This additional technology is provided by Intel and it looks like the issue is related to Intel server connection.
By the way:
I found nice instruction created by Toshiba - Intel Anti-Theft Service User Guide
This manual explains how to take advantage of the built-in hardware features, software options, and service benefits of the Intel Anti-Theft Service

Intel Anti Theft Service with my new T520

Folks,
I when I went to the Intel site to sign up for the AT service it said I should have got a yellow card
in the box with the laptop with the activation code.
I checked, I did not get that card, does anyone know how to get the code ?
Thanks

The post above by JDay is no longer true. Intel has been distributing activation codes to some of their reseller partners. See my post below on how to acquire the activation codes.

Hello,
Two thoughts:
Check with your existing vendor(s) of security software to see if they offer an anti-theft module or product as an add-on to your existing license.
The open source Prey Project is another solution to investigate.

Intel Anti Theft on X220

Hi all
i have a brand new X220 i7 that i really like - and would like to keep it to myself! :-)
It is equipped with Intel Anti Theft and i would like to activate it. As far as i understand, it takes some service provider to activate it and that provider will keep track of the device and send a 'kill-pill' if i request it.
I have contacted Lenovo in Denmark, but they only gave me a link to some company that provide some protection software.
Does anyone know any Intel anti theft service provider in Denmark/Europe??

Intel Anti-Theft Technology: Low cost enterprise options

Working in education, I'm looking for a low cost option for implementing anti-theft tech. All we need is a way to disable stolen computers, in order to deter thieves in the future. We don't expect to recover stolen equipment, so tracking is not needed. Computrace is too expensive. SecureDisable seems like a good option without unnecessary features, but still seems like a lot for a simple service.
Anybody have any experience in this area?
Are pay services absolutely required for this tech? What about writing a custom management plug-in?

Remove anti theft security

Hello, I installed the Intel anti theft technology I my t420 and it crash, now I have this thing on my bios and I can't take it of.
Can someone help me?

It is used to block access on one of a group of machines from a central site. If yours is blocked, either it should be blocked or you can talk to the system administrator to unblock it. It does not block access if the system crashes.

Intel AMT & Anti Theft

Hi All,
Anyone using Intel AMT or Anti-Theft? Are they of much use...?
Am I missing much by not using them? Been doing some googling but can't quite find what I need. They seem more aimed at corporate users rather than retail consumers.
Information appreciated.

If anyone knows how to remove this bloat ware and stop it from slowing down the startup with its service, let me know.
Eos:
It's easy to remove the software, and easy to disable both of these the functions in the BIOS.
Your computer came with a document entitled "User Guide" pre-installed on it. To access the User Guide, press the start button, select 'Help and Support', then select the link entitled "User Guide" that will appear in the upper left corner of the window. There you will find instructions explaining how to disable the feature. Likewise for the Anti-Theft. There's also about 200 more pages of information explaining how your computer works, what you can do with it, etc. It makes for fascinating reading. The document is a PDF, you can save it to your desktop if you wish so that it is available whenever you want it. You can even use the 'search' feature of Adobe Reader to instantly find topics, such as 'AMT' or 'Anti-Theft'. This actually enables you to find information on your own in less time than it takes to make a post here in the forum asking others to find the information for you.
The anti-theft does not require or have any software unless you have taken deliberate action to purchase and download an anti-theft service. To remove the AMT software (if installed), press the start button, select 'Control Panel', then select 'Programs and Features', find the AMT software entry, select it, right click, and choose 'uninstall'.

Accidentally deleted my BBID associated with Anti-theft protection that was still on.

On July 15 I bought $600 BB Passport from a vendor at a popular IT market in Bangkok, Thailand. Currently, Blackberry is completely gone from Thailand, no service provider nor authorized dealer for BB Passport. I accidentally deleted BBID used with Anti-theft protection feature and it was on when this happened. I can't remember exactly how that happened and why it was so easy to delete the BBID without knowing I actually did. I recreated new BBID by using the same email and question for recovery but it did not work as my device won't accept it and kept saying the Anti-theft protection is on. Unfortunately I have tried so many times to put the password associated with the accidentally deleted BBID but it still did not work. Now the BB passport is like an expensive brick to me. I have taken the photo of my old BBID that was deleted. I have my BBM Pin that was set up by using this old BBID. I know the screen name of it, except one thing the password that no matter how I tried it was not accepted to my device. Things got worst when the vendor I bought the device from reformatted my device and i still CANNOT use my new BBID to set up the device. I have no carrier as BB passport is not official to Thailand. Please help i am so desperate. I have been waiting for so long to have this device. I took the risk of knowing that no provider in Thailand. Thank you so much

I might be able to help you some more. If your able to log onto protect.blackberry.comAnd you can see your deviceGo to manage devicesNear the bottom select removeThen log out of Protect web page. Then go back to the device,Enter the password to many times until it wipes clean.If it didn't power off and back on during the wipe then do that first. Now you should be able to log onto the device using your protect.blackberry.com ID and password You should be all set than Unfortunately I don't have an support email for them

Late 2006, 24" iMac, 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Screen Tearing, nVidia 7300

Late 2006, 24" iMac, 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Screen Tearing, nVidia GeForce 7300 GT
I've been suffering with screen tearing, strange screen artifacts, etc. followed by totally unresponsive freezing machine. This problem has been happening to varying degrees for about 9 months.
Initially, I was able to mitigate the problem with smcFanControl. Adjusting the fan speeds up helped keep the machine cool and prevent most of the problems. Recently, we had a spell of hot weather and the fans just couldn't keep up. If you're using smcFanControl, the only fan speed that will really make a difference is the CPU. The HDD and ODD fans are no where near where you need to be.
Also, I noticed the machine was LOADED with dust when I took it apart, including the heat sink fins for the graphics card. If you have time you may want to try a thorough cleaning with compressed air before replacing the card. You just need to get through step 11 below to access what needs to be cleaned.
Based on reading here and elsewhere, I decided to replace the graphics card. To give back to the community, I wanted to layout the procedure here.
Where to buy the card.
I had a tough time finding the right card. I did exhaustive web searches using every combination of Nvidia 7300 GT, etc. You really need to search by the Apple part number. The Apple part number for the 7300 is 661-4179, for the 7600 is 661-4180. I found it at We Love Macs and at dv warehouse. I paid $248 for the 7600 card. BE CAREFUL buying a "refurbished" card. At We Love Macs, "refurbished" means "pulled from a working machine." Could be a machine with as much mileage as yours and prone to the same failures as yours.
The card is an MXM style card (generally used in laptops), with a giant heat sink and heat pipe assembly. The card can be separated from the heat assembly. If I had time, I would have tried a generic, cheaper, MXM style card.
Dispelling some myths.
People here and elsewhere have said that no Intel iMac graphics card can be replaced, that they're wedded to the logic board. The one on this model can be replaced, I've done it. Also, some have said you can't put a 256MB, 7600 GT in a machine that originally had a 128MB, 7300 GT. Also, not true. That's what I did to my machine and it is working fine.
So here's the step-by-step on my take apart and replacement. This is just one user helping out others, PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK. This takes about 1 1/2 hours to take apart and 2 to put back together.
1) Install the iStat widget and monitor the temperatures for a few days and record the temperatures (to be able to verify that you've completed the repair correctly later)
2) Make a complete backup of any internal drives and make sure the backup will be bootable (use Carbon Copy Cloner)
3) Use static safeguards, like an anti-static wrist strap.
4) Get a pen a stack of paper envelopes to separate and label the pieces you remove.
5) You'll need a #2 Phillips and #6, 8, 10 Torx. Most of the screws at T-8. There are 8 T-8s holding in the LCD. They are about 1 1/4" down. You'll need a long, skinny T-8 to get to them.
6) Unplug the machine and place it on it's back on a large white sheet of paper.
7) Remove RAM door, #2 Phillips x 2.
8) Remove RAM.
9) Remove 4 T-8s along bottom.
10) Remove large rectangular plastic bezel surrounding the whole machine, tilt up being careful not to stress iSight cables. You'll need to stretch it around the RAM ejection tabs.
11) Detach two iSight cables.
12) Peel up black stickers at lower corners of speakers.
13) Remove LCD screws, T-8 x 8. You'll probably drop a few, they're pretty easy to retrieve.
14) Remove two retaining screws on right hand LCD cable. T-6 x2 Unplug cable.
15) Remove LCD inverter cable, left.
Start unplugging everything connected to the logic board.
16) Unplug cable coming from right speaker. Note cable routing, it is the only one that's a little tricky. Also, note that the left one plugs in on the right and the right one plugs in on the left.
17) Remove right speaker. T-10 Note: left and right speaker screws are different lengths.
18) Unplug ODD blower cable.
19) Unplug ODD temp cable and lift up tape.
20) Unplug HDD blower cable.
21) Unplug the HDD temp cable.
22) Unplug the camera & mic cable.
23) Unscrew the clamp securing the airport card (has two antenna cables going to it, labeled PCIE), T-6 x 2
24) Unplug SATA cable.
25) Unplug Power cable, thick black plastic harness, socket.
26) Unplug ambient temp cable.
27) Unscrew the bluetooth card, T-6 x2.
28) Unplug CPU blower cable.
29) Unplug power button cable, 2 conductor, tiny cable, bottom left.
30) Unscrew left speaker, T-10, unplug from logic board, but just leave dangling, no need to remove cable completely.
31) Remove logic board screws. Be careful to segregate them, they have different lengths and different thread pitches and thread types. Some are machine threads going into metal, some are coarse threads going into plastic.
31a) Heat sink frame to case T-8 x 2
31b) Logic board to case T-8 x 3
31c) Screws at heat sink from arrows T-8 x 3
31d) Logic board at bottom near RAM slot T-8 x 2
32) Unplug ODD ribbon cable, be extremely careful. Release plastic tabs on each side to remove. Be sure it is fully and evenly seated when you put it back later.
33) Remove logic board with attached graphics card.
34) Unplug graphics card heat sink sensor cable at logic board end.
35) Remove graphics card screws 2 x T-6
36) Remove single screw from small L-bracket on heat sink 1 x T-6
Replace graphics card.
Reverse steps, put everything back together. Be careful not to pinch any cables when you put the logic board back in. When you put the LCD back in, if you can't get the screws to stick to the driver, use some glue stick from your kid's art supplies.
Test everything. You've disconnected every cable in the system.
I torture tested the machine with a space heater on it, 5 different videos of different formats playing at the same time. No problems.
I took a lot of pictures inside the machine. As soon as I figure out a good place to post them, I'll try to add a link here.
Good luck

Greetings!
I know this is in response to your post from over 2 years ago, but I was searching on Apple's site for the max RAM I can upgrade our refurbed iMac too and it brought up this post.
Oddly enough, I've been experiencing the same screen issues and locking up on our iMac as well. I was concerned it was a bad memory module, but now I'm thinking it's the same issue you found.
Because I bought this some 2+ years ago refurbed from Apple, I'm not surprised that could be the actual problem.
I've pulled this thing apart once to replace the hard-drive which crashed about a year ago, so I'm not totally new at opening it up, but this process you mention sounds pretty intense...just wanted to get your second take on it based on what I've done thus far.
Thanks again for posting this...it was an eye-opener as to what might actually be causing our issues with our trusted Mac!

Maverick Recovery Screen only half visable

I want to reinstall Maverick but for some reason the top half of the recovery pages are off of my computer screen. The menu bar is visable but the drop downs are not. The Airport icon on the upper right is visable and works. On the recovery page I can see that the default button is selected and the continue button is available. Problem is I don't know what the default selection is. I can't chance earsing my hard drive so I don't blindily go forward.
Anyone know how to reposition the recovery screen? Or where I can find screen shots of the recovery process?
I am on a late 2009 27" iMac with Intel i7 chip with 2 monitors attched. one is via USB with known freezing problems in Maverick. In recovery it does not show up.

Just after posting this it occurred to me that that the attached monitors might be the problem. I detached them and problem solved. The recovery pages position properly.

I bought a iphone 3gs from a friend and I was told to put in my sim card and connect it to the computer and it stays on the recovery screen, does anyone know the reason why this is happening?

I dont know if its my computer because it says that the device is unknown and doesnt come up as apple mobile device but I've watched youtube videos that seemed like they had similiar problems but they didnt work for me. I've tried the whole home button thing,updating itunes and everything but the recovery screen still wouldnt go away. This is the first time I'm using an iphone so I'm totally clueless about whats happening.

Installing a SIM card will never rectify the device being in recovery mode.
Put the device in DFU mode and attempt to restore it as new via iTunes. Google "DFU mode" for instructions.
