The invention relates to a notebook computer hard disk destruction trigger circuit and method and a notebook computer. The circuit comprises a notebook computer power supply end, a cover opening state detection module, a power supply control module, an
embedded controller power supply end and a destruction
signal trigger module. The cover opening state detection module generates a cover opening state
signal, and the cover opening state
signal is in a low level when the rear cover of the notebook computer is in a
closed state and is in a high level when the rear cover of the notebook computer is in an open state. And the power supply control module controls the power supply end of the notebook computer to be conducted with the power supply end of the
embedded controller after receiving the high-level cover opening state signal. And the destruction signal triggering module generates a low-level destruction signal after receiving the high-level cover opening state signal. And the
embedded controller controls the hard disk to execute hard disk destruction operation after receiving the low-level destruction signal. The circuit has the advantages that when the rear cover of the notebook computer is not opened, the embedded controller is powered off, and the circuit
power consumption is low.
