I have this board and has a 2x4 row PS2 pinout.

I would like some help regarding how to connect the PS2 port in the MOBO.

I tried again some combinations but no luck.

How many pins does the header have? 4? 5? 6? 8?
Recently had a similiar problem with my VL/I-486SV2GX4 but figured it out after a while (with a little aid from google) 😀

No idea which color corresponds with which pin there (mine was black, yellow, red and orange I think) ... try to wire it up corresponding to this mspaint powered drawing. That's the way it's done on my mainboard (which is basically the same as if you directly solder a PS/2 jack onto the mainboard) rather than a slotcover with a PS/2 jack.

I will post some pictures now to help you identifying my MOBO pinout. I really want the PS2 port to work.

I know yellow is the 5V and Red is the ground.

You've gotta find out which color corresponds to which signal (or pin on the PS/2 jack) otherwise all other info in this thread is useless 😉
Considering PS/2 jacks aren't rocket science, it should either be visible by eye or you could "beep through" the lines with a multimeter.
