Claim 2:
3. A method of device component management, the method comprising:
identifying an action to be performed using a first component of a device as part of a process to be performed using the device;
determining an estimated combined power draw rate from use of the first component to perform the action while a second component of the device and a third component of the device are also used;
determining that the estimated combined power draw rate exceeds a first threshold associated with risk of brownout to the device without exceeding a second threshold that is greater than the first threshold, wherein the second threshold is associated with a risk of blackout to the device;
determining, based on a power draw of the second component and on a power draw of the third component and on the process, that disabling the second component is configured to reduce the risk more than disabling the third component; and
causing the device to temporarily disable the second component of the device while the device performs the action using the first component and until the action is complete without disabling the third component based on the determining that disabling the second component is configured to reduce the risk more than disabling the third component.
