Abstract
A portable electronic device includes a casing, a circuit board module, a display module and a fastening unit. The casing has spaced-apart horizontal top and bottom walls, each of which has parallel front and rear edges and parallel lateral edges, and a vertical surrounding wall interconnecting the front edges and the lateral edges of the top and bottom walls. The top and bottom walls and the surrounding wall cooperatively confine a receiving space with a rear opening formed between the rear edges of the top and bottom walls. The circuit board module includes a main circuit board with front and rear edges, and a mounting frame mounted on the rear edge of the main circuit board. The main circuit board is inserted into the receiving space in the casing via the rear opening such that the mounting frame is disposed to close the rear opening. The display module is mounted pivotally on the mounting frame of the circuit board module so as to be pivotable toward the casing, and is connected electrically to the main circuit board. The fastening unit is provided on the casing and the mounting frame for mounting removably the circuit board module inside the casing.
