  • Electronic apparatus, power control of electronic apparatus and moving method of front panel of electronic apparatus
    Patent number: 7004397
    Abstract: When a front panel is opened, a microcomputer decides that it reached a predetermined angle by counting the number of pulses generated by a pulse generator, and a CPU controls a power switch and turns off a power supplied to a card type record medium. Also, when the microcomputer detects an input of a front panel operation button in a state in which the front panel has opened and when a switch is ON, the CPU recognizes that the card type record medium is present and detects whether or not a terminal for connection detection of the card type record medium has been electrically connected and when it has not been connected, it is recognized that the card type record medium is in a half insertion state and a closing operation is not performed.
