Hi,

The 5ALI61 has 5 pins (basically only 4 as one is not connected) just above the DIN connector. According to the manuel it will allow for connecting a PS/2 mouse. However, I can't seem to find a cable that has a mini-DIN to this 5-pin layout.

Any help would be much appreciated.

You need one of these:

However, you will have to figure out how the pinouts are and possibly you will have to put a different 5-pin plug on the bracket. If the pinouts are not compatible it will not work, and/or you can damage something, if you just plug it in without re-arranging the connections between bracket and motherboard.
