I've got a similar machine, a Toshiba T1950CT.
It has the same chassis, memory modules, etc.

Mine has the original trackball, which plugs into 
the right side.  Unfortunately, the trackball does 
not work with BL3 because it requires a special
driver.  I use an external mouse.

Which port is broken off?  The COM port (on the back)
or the PS/2 port (on the right side).  You can get
an external mouse for either COM or PS/2, so if only 
one of them is broken, you should be able to get an
external mouse.

Cheers,
