<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technology for distinguishing whether the cause of a failure results from an impact received from a fall or the like, in case where the failure has occurred in an electronic apparatus. <P>SOLUTION: A impact detecting device 40 is accommodated in a casing 11 of electronic equipment 10. The impact detecting device 40 includes a substantially cube-shaped case 41, six pins 42, 42... joined to the inner wall of the case 41, and a ball 43. The six pins 42, 42... sandwiches the ball 43 therebetween. When a large impact is applied to the electronic equipment 10, the ball 43 receives a force in an either direction and pierces into one of the pins 42. Thereby, the impact detecting device can detect that the large impact has been applied to the electronic equipment 10. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
