Hey anyone know the pinout on the iwill p55xb2, I already figured out the pinout for the cables I got, but the manual doesn't say for the onboard header. I did use my multimeter and probed 5V and Ground but i can't find clock or data.

I guess you're looking for the 5 pin din AT layout

edit: noticed it doesn't mention which pin is which on the image. so https://old.pinouts.ru/InputCables/KeyboardPC5_pinout.shtml there ya go.

Right to repair is fundamental. You own it, you're allowed to fix it.

no for the PS2 Mouse header pinout on the board, the manual shows where it is but does not tell me what the pins are, i found 5v and ground but my multimeter for obvious reasons doesn't tell me clock and data

I don't think there's any harm in getting clk and data the wrong way around, so you could just try it one way and if it doesn't work try it the other way.

You won't break anything by switching them up at first. Just make sure you get the gnd & +5v correct.

If I look at the photos it seems like you would only have two choices.

too bad the pinout isn't in the manual that can be found on theretroweb.

it isn't, from probing though its VCC|NC|GND|Unknown|Unknown

I'll try swapping wires around then if there is no risk
