Abstract: A fingerprint recognizing apparatus including a sensor section mounted on the apparatus body for detecting a fingerprint of an operator; a cover movable between an open position and a closed position for protecting the sensor section in such a manner that an operator's finger can access to the sensor section when the cover is in the open position; and a contact section arranged on the apparatus body at a position where the operator's finger can easily come into contact therewith during an operator's action to open the cover, the contact section being electrically connected to the ground of the apparatus body.

Abstract: A notebook personal computer 50 of a built-in MODEM type has a printed board assembling member 57 incorporated into a notebook personal computer main body 51. A notebook personal computer 80 of a built-in LAN type has a printed board assembling member 82 incorporated into a notebook personal computer main body 51. The printed board assembling member 57 and the printed board assembling member 82 both have a printed board 60. In the printed board assembling member 57, a MODEM module-connector assembling member 61 is attached to the printed board 60. In the printed board assembling member 82, a LAN module-connector assembling member 83 is attached to the printed board.
