Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a fastener module for portable computers that is disposed on the host of a portable computer to fasten the LCD with the host of the portable computer, no matter whether the LCD of the portable computer is closed directly or after rotating 180 degrees; the fastener module has a pivotable eccentric hook rod with a normal horizontal position under the effect of an elastic component when not being affected by magnetic effect, when the LCD closes on the host of the computer, both sides of the hook rod are affected by the magnetic effect of the magnetic component on the LCD; since the pivot of the hook rod is designed eccentrically, the magnetic moment generated by the magnetic effect for each side of the hook rod is different, so that the hook rod changes it position instantly from normal horizontal state to vertical state and hooks in the opening of the LCD to fasten the LCD onto the host of the portable computer.
