Is it possible that, for example, the police can start a laptop. I have heard that it is possible with mobile phones even when they are out, because the question has arisen for me whether this is also possible with a laptop. If it is possible and you have a laptop with a removable battery and you take this out, is it still possible?
I'm assuming you mean starting without physical access.
This is only possible under certain conditions, which in most cases will not be the case. Of course, without the battery, it would only be feasible if the device were connected to the mains.
Why should the police even want to start a laptop remotely?
From a distance, however, I do not see a word in this question.
Thanks for your answer first. I was just wondering, because it is possible with a mobile phone. So without a battery and without direct loading, it is not possible, I understood that correctly? There's always something "residual current" for the time etc.
But then the question does not make sense. Why should not the police be able to press the power button?
Well, because he has no battery
Oh well, well then the device is of course useless.
The police do not want to start your laptop.
They take out the hard drive and copy all the data to another. Then you can search the data very relaxed. If you're lucky you'll even get the laptop back.
But yes, of course you can start the laptop, why not. These are not idiots.
Some think the police are stupid.
Laptops start as soon as they get power, whether by battery or by charging cable.
Even without a CMOS battery many start but in an emergency it is also used quickly if they really want to the laptop.
I think it is meant by remote access. That they can do it normally should be clear.
Hi, thanks for the answer. Do you know how it is, if you remove the battery and the laptop does not load, so if it is then possible for the police to access it?
You can use both options.
If you can't just start it up because there's a password on it, just plug it in to another device.
A Windows password is far from being an encrypted hard disk.
It's about the remote access.
Well, that's not there? And why should he take out the battery so he does not start?
He can then just pull the internet cable…
You can, but you usually do not. You can also configure it so that it destroys the data when starting or similar.
It is not there because it is obvious
Lol.
Why do not you just disconnect from the internet? Then you will not be able to access it remotely.
Why make such an effort?
He just said for the first time.
Why do not you just write that as it is meant?
If a laptop is off, then it is…
OUT!
Since he can be connected to the power and they can't do it anyway.
To be able to start it, the laptop must be in hibernation and control WakeOnLan, this can't everyone especially since this again must be activated.
Depending on the BIOS settings, you may be able to start it if you take the power from the house and give it back because you can set some devices (especially for desktop PCs) to start them as soon as they have power again. But that's what makes the least owners of such a device.
But the solution is also obvious? If you do not want to have a remote access, you disconnect the thing from the internet.
One should perhaps mention that wake on LAN works only in the LAN. The router blocks magic packets from outside.
So you would have to hack into a device on the local network (which is already on) for it to work. But that is quite possible as the mirai botnet shows.
Starting a laptop lasts as long as it takes to open the case at a specific location. Then it starts because the password is gone. The batteries are not important, otherwise a laptop with a defective battery would not work anymore.
Yes, but the laptop must do this, can be connected via LAN (normally you use W-Lan ^^) and it must be activated. And in Windows 10, the devices also run wonderfully completely down if you disable the quick start.
Then Wake On Lan is not enough as far as I know.
There's always something "residual current" for the time etc.
Nope, that's a small battery on the motherboard. It provides the clock, and memory for the password.
Hi, thanks for your reply. My question was actually whether it is possible, e.g. For the police to start a laptop remotely or collect data, although the laptop has no battery and is not connected to the power. LG
Joa, that's right.
Ok, that's not clear from the question. If a laptop has no battery and it is not plugged in, it can't be started remotely.
Top thank you.
