1 2 3 4 5 6
7 8 9 10 11 12

I swear, I think my numbers are like this, unless I'm wrong.

1 3 5 7 9 11
2 4 6 8 10 12

I'd appreciate your help. Also. The point on the SamSung DVD-ROM "Tray In" My solder point came off, and I soldered my wire to a via point just below that point, it looks like the Tray In solder point, originates from that area. Will that alternative way work? If not, how can I fix the solder point?

Yeah, that via should be just fine.

I used the PDF from the guy I got the drive from on Ebay, it's the same one on xbox-scene.

Here's the link.

Also, mentioning of note. 3 and 4 were switched for me.

To use this PDF here's what you gotta do, the diagram is for the small end. Find the wire (using the small end) and cut it, then wire the drive to the cut wire on the long plug side.

Just switch 3 and 4 and you're set.

Tomorrow I can do a whole pin-out.
