So I've got this knock-off of a Super Dual Box Pro, that is, for all practical purposes exactly the same as far as I can tell, and there is a short or something in the USB cable. I've got a ton of Delphi USB device cables that I can sacrifice to solder a new cable to the PCB of this adapter. How do I know which pins to solder from the USB cable to the adapter? Heh.

Pics of the PCB.

Do you happen to have any of those PCI-E USB slot thingies that connect to the headers on your mobo?

Those are fully color coded, should make it cake.

Is there anyway to tell which cables I should solder to which?

See if you can download a PDF with the pinout for that chip.

Thats a PDF for the Cypress 7C63001 chip, but I have no idea what that pinout section is talking about.

Click to expand...

They all look standard.

Hack off the female end of a usb cable and match colors and solder to the board?
