First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of detecting system component failures in a computing system, the method comprising:
- detecting, by an illumination detector, the occurrence of an illumination event in the computing system;
determining, by an illumination event identifier, whether the illumination event is associated with a suspected component failure in the computing system; and
sending, by a notification system, a failure event notification upon determining that the illumination event is associated with a suspected component failure in the computing system.
