Information handling system visual image inspection to support hinge reuse and recycling

A method for evaluating information handling system hinge wear, the method comprising:

• applying an acceleration to the information handling system with a lid housing portion in an open position relative to a main housing portion;
• capturing the lid housing portion response to the acceleration as visual images with a camera;
• and
• analyzing movement of the lid housing portion to determine wear of a hinge rotationally coupling the lid housing portion to the main housing portion;
• wherein the analyzing movement further comprises a distance of movement of the lid housing portion against a threshold distance of movement associated with the hinge.

• capturing the lid housing portion response to the acceleration as visual images with a camera;
• and
• analyzing movement of the lid housing portion to determine wear of a hinge rotationally coupling the lid housing portion to the main housing portion;
• comparing in the visual images movement of a left side of the lid housing portion and right side of the lid housing portion in response to the acceleration;
• and
• analyzing the comparing to determine wear of a left side hinge and a right side hinge rotationally coupling the lid housing portion to the main housing portion.
