Recently I have been working on salvaging parts from an old broken Lenovo IdeaPad. A model S145-14api I believe. I have been working on connecting to its track pad to my computer. I have taken the track pad out of the laptop and identified the solder points for its ribbon cable. They are as follows: (left of connector to the right of connector)
PIN 1 | PIN 2 | PIN 3 | PIN 4 | PIN 5 | PIN 6
: T3 T11 T23 T9 T10 T20(and T30)
Now that I have the solder points, I am now working to interface it. I am unsure how to. I expected it to use a PS/2 type connection, as it has six pins and I have read that PS/2 is common internally in old laptops (forgive me as I am not experienced at hardware). Unfortunately, while I identified the +5v and GND pins, I am unsure of the rest. Upon looking at a schematic, none of the pins seem to match up with the PS/2 pinout. Can you help me interface with this track pad?
Model # (of track pad): 8SST60V07208
PS: the ribbon cable connector of the track pad is broken, but I can solder in a replacement.
