JSB Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I have an ibook G3 dual usb that has had its touchpad connector come loose from the logic board. Since the ribbon cable from the touchpad has 4 wires and usb is 4 wires I am hoping to reconnect the pad via usb since I can't really reconnect the pinch connector to the logic board. Is it possible? Any idea of the wire sequence of the pad? Usb is +5v, G, +data, -data (not in that order). Thanks.

Falcon351 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 These machines may have still used ADB for keyboard and trackpad connections (according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Desktop_Bus). If that's the case, you're out of luck. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/93365-connect-touchpad-to-usb/#findComment-666364 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSB Posted March 15, 2008 Author Share Posted March 15, 2008 Thanks, now I know what to research. I guess I'll also look into trying to reattach the connector to the logic board or another ADB connector.
