Been lurking for quite a while
Now I've f*cked up and need assistance!As the title says, I need help in re-soldering wires to a broken off DIN5 180° connector.
I recently bought a Chicony KB5581 with MX Blues. Equal to this one:
Aaaand, I accidentally twisted the connector in my converter whilst putting it in the motherboard and heard/felt the wires disconnecting inside the connector.
Thing is... I like collecting keyboards and typing on them... I've done a LITTLE bit of tinkering, but here I'm at a loss.
The connector has 5 pins, but there's 7 wires in the cord itself. I've tried to research on the field of colorcoding and diagrams of DIN5 connectors, but I can't seem to figure out what wire goes where. I've tried looking at the internals but couldn't figure out sh*t.
The bare metal wire is shielding I pressume - but when I pulled out the metal housing in the connector-end, that wire had a hard black tube (loosly) around it?
This is by far the coolest keyboard in my collection and I'd really like to enjoy it to the fullest by actually being able to type on it!
Currently waiting for a RS232 adapter to try and get the trackball working as well
