Abstract
An electronic device with data protection features in case of unauthorized disassembly includes top cover, bottom cover, a printed circuit board (PCB) fixed on the top cover, and a plate coupled to the bottom cover. The PCB includes a plurality of terminal couplers and a protruding portion. The plate includes a plurality of terminal grooves and a latching member. At least two signal terminals are correspondingly received in at least two of the plurality of terminal grooves. When the signal terminals are electrically connected to the terminal couplers, a first relation signal, which is dependent upon the electrical paths defined by the signal terminals in the terminal grooves, is generated to enable the electronic device. When the signal terminals are not connected to the original terminal couplers, a second and different relation signal is generated by the PCB to disable the electronic device.
