Abstract
An exemplary electronic device includes a front wall and a protecting member. The font wall includes a socket used to engagingly receive a plug and a fixing member used to fix the front wall to a side wall associated with the electronic device. The protecting member is located between the socket and the fixing member and slidably attached to the front wall to selectively shield at least part of the socket or shield the fixing member. When the protecting member shields at least part of the socket, the fixing member is exposed to allow the front wall to be disassembled from the side wall. When the protecting member shields the fixing member, the socket is entirely exposed to allow the plug to be inserted into the socket.
