Rewiring Keyboards

[windozeuser]

I need to replace the miniDIN connector on a keyboard it's the six pin variety. I have the new connector, but need to know what the color codes are to solder them on. If any of you know this than could you please help me?

Thanks.

I searched google and couldn't find any conventional color codes used for the connector. If it gets down to it I will just have to tear an old keyboard apart and look to see where they go.

Maybe this will help.

According to the following page (which also has a pinout) the colour coding is not standard.

Easier & cheaper to buy a stock adaptor from a computer store ~$2.
