Abstract

The present invention is to provide an optical disk drive including a casing, a tray, a signal wire, and a conductive wire. The casing has a first electric device and a grounded conductor, and the tray has a second electric device and a base plate. The signal wire connects the first electric device and the second electric device. The conductive wire is a part of the signal wire to electrically connect the base plate and the conductor. When a user touches the tray, electrostatic charges of the user are grounded by the connection of the base plate and the conductor.
