  • Patent number: 12189437
    Abstract: A portable information handling system modular hybrid architecture separates components between rotationally coupled housing portions to minimize cabling, connectors and materials, and to provide improved durability that supports recycling and reuse of the components. For example, a secondary board coupled in a first housing portion and having an audio processor exposes a connector that communicates audio signals to a speaker through a housing cover coupled over the first housing portion. A first speaker interface of the housing cover aligned with the secondary board connector communicates the audio signals through wires of the housing cover to a second speaker interface aligned with a speaker having a speaker contact to accept the audio signals. The speaker has a speaker cartridge with a piezoelectric speaker element that releasably couples to a speaker chamber to aid in reuse and recycling of the speaker.
