ABSTRACT:
A method for tracking repair histories includes providing a field replaceable unit having a memory device, generating a repair history record associated with a repair request for the field replaceable unit, and storing the repair history record in the memory device. A computing system includes a field replaceable unit including a memory device configured to store a repair history record associated with repairs performed on the field replaceable unit.
