Abstract
Approaches discussed herein enable a computing device to be tested to determine whether light from an emitter is bleeding through the device, which can be indicative of an assembly failure. A light blocking member can be placed over a camera in order to prevent a camera from capturing light coming from outside the device. At least one light source of the device then can be caused to emit light, and the camera can capture at least one image to determine whether any of the light is bleeding through the device and being detected by the camera. If so, the device can be determined to fail the test, and can be sent for reassembly or another remedial action. In some cases, a type of failure might be able to be determined, and information for the failure can be logged for purposes such as quality assurance and failure rate monitoring.
