Abstract
A fabricating method effective in affixing FPC with high accuracy, simplifying a supporting mechanism of a head supporting member, avoiding mechanical damage to a load beam or a flexible member and promoting performance of adhering FPC to the load beam. Before bending a load beam included in a head supporting member, FPC is affixed on a face of the head supporting member. Thereafter, the load beam is bent.
