    Used the fingerprint reader port.
    BEWARE it is 3.34 volt and NOT 5 volt.
    5 volt is standard for usb ports.
    3.34 volt seems to work fine for my wireless mouse.
    CF 19 fingerprint wiring is what I used.
    The enable pin needs grounded in order for the BIOS to enable the FPR port.
    The one corner of the new usb port needs trimmed. I think it could be trimmed a bit more than I did.

    I used a 12 pin ffc and breakout because I already had them.
    An 8 pin breakout and ffc cable is all that is needed.
