Abstract
An optical disk drive is disclosed to fix a main board in the casing and a second board under the tray. A flat cable on the bottom of the casing connects the main board with one end, and forms a bent portion to connect the connector of the second board at the other end. A cable protection device close to the connector is fixed under the tray to face the bent portion with an incline for preventing the bent portion from bending.
