A method of manufacturing a flex-rigid wiring board includes positioning a flexible board and a non-flexible substrate adjacent to each other, forming a metal layer over the flexible board such that the metal layer is formed to stop laser irradiation from reaching into the flexible board, forming an insulating layer such that the insulating layer covers the metal layer, the flexible board and the non-flexible substrate, irradiating laser upon the insulating layer such that a portion of the insulating layer covering the metal layer is cut; and removing the portion of the insulating layer covering the metal layer from the flexible board such that at least a portion of the flexible board is exposed.
