Abstract
A computing device having a casing, a printed circuit board (PCB) and a card receptacle moveably supported by the casing for covering an orifice in the casing is disclosed. The card receptacle is spaced apart from the PCB in a closed position of the card receptacle to define a cavity therebetween. The card receptacle supports a connector that is connected to an electronic circuitry on the PCB. The card receptacle can be moved to at least one open position away from the orifice for receiving an electronic card and for allowing an additional module of the computing device to be inserted into the cavity for connection to the PCB.
