Abstract
The lid portion of a notebook computer is pivotally secured to the base portion of the computer using a metal hinge structure directly interconnected between the lid portion and the metal I/O plate disposed at the back side of the computer base portion and grounded to the system planar board therein. A direct grounding connection is thus formed from the lid portion to the system planar board through this combination I/O plate/lid hinge structure.
