Claims (28)

1. An electronic apparatus comprising:

a module;

a housing comprising a first member and a second member, the first member facing the module, the second member facing the module from a side opposite to the first member, the second member comprising an engaging portion configured to engage with the first member;

a hinge attached to the housing;

a metal member in the housing attached to the hinge; and

a cable in the housing,

wherein the second member comprises a wall configured to support the metal member and a supporting portion protruding from the wall,

wherein the supporting portion is configured to support the metal member from a side opposite to the wall,

wherein the metal member is separated from the module and configured to be attached to the housing at a position between the module and the engaging portion, and

wherein the cable is between the module and the metal member, the cable farther from the engaging portion than the metal member.

2. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 ,

wherein the metal member comprises a first portion and a second portion, the first portion extending substantially parallel to the wall and attached to the wall by the supporting portion, the second portion standing from the first portion to a side opposite to the wall, and

the supporting portion projects from the wall less than the second portion.

3. The electronic apparatus of claim 2 ,

wherein the cable is configured to overlap the first portion in a thickness direction of the housing,

the second portion comprises a first end connected to the first portion and a second end opposite to the first end, and

at least a portion of the cable is closer to the wall than the second end is.

4. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 ,

wherein the metal member is configured to be attached to the housing by a plurality of fixing portions, and at least one of the plurality of fixing portions comprises the wall and the supporting portion, the supporting portion in a side space of the module.

5. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 ,

wherein the supporting portion is welded to the metal member.

6. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a receiver between the cable and the module,

wherein the metal member comprises a pressing portion protruding toward the cable, the pressing portion configured to press the cable against the receiver.

7. The electronic apparatus of claim 6 ,

wherein the pressing portion corresponds to the engaging portion, the pressing portion provided by bending the metal member in a direction away from the engaging portion.

8. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 ,

wherein an end of the second member comprises a curved portion, and

the metal member extends to the curved portion and is configured to be attached to the curved portion by the supporting portion.
