A shock absorbing device for a notebook computer module. The device comprises of a notebook computer module, a cooling/protective plate, and two springs. A first spring is installed between the notebook computer module and the cooling/protective plate that provides a force trying to separate the cooling/protective plate and the module. The cooling/protective plate has a hole that permits a fastening insert to pass through. A first end of the fastening insert protrudes outside the cooling/protective plate while a second end of the fastening insert fastens onto the notebook computer module. There is a second spring between the first end of the fastening insert and the cooling/protective plate. The second spring provides a force trying to draw the cooling/protective plate closer to the module.
