Need help with my broken keyboard

[dabritgamer]

Hi all!

not sure if this belongs here but anyway

i have broken my keyboard

while I was cleaning my setup I pulled the cable out of the keyboard, I am now completely confused on how to wire it back

i am fairly decent with a soldering iron but have no idea the correct way to solder it so I’ve come here

is there a universal wiring scheme I can go off or maybe some of y’all can help

the keyboard is a magic eagle havit 

attached are some pictures,

Thank!

I'd use this as a reference...  

 

G likely is Ground, V I'd guess is Voltage (+), and D + and - are data + and -.

 

I can't explain the fifth pad (s), so I'd leave it empty for the time being.

Note: I'm just some guy on the internet, this could kill your keyboard. Just saying.

Right you are... Do you have a continuity meter or voltmeter? If not, I'd treat yellow as black, and cross my fingers.

 

On a side note, you can also wire up an LED or something using the cable to test continuity.

Good thing it's a cheap keyboard, if you can't get that soldered back on might be less stressful to get a new one, from my experience when you buy a cheap keyboard you get a cheap keyboard. If I paid $30 for a keyboard used it for awhile and it broke, instead of spending a couple hours trying to solder it back together I'd just get another cheap keyboard. You can go to pretty much any store that sells electronics and computers, and more times than not you can find a $15-$20 keyboard if money is tight.

Hey thanks for the reply, I really like the feel of the keyboard and kinda wanna keep it, turns out the actual circuit board inside is pretty screwed, is there a way I can get a replacement?

or can I buy a second wired keyboard and replay the circuit?

Probably not, like I said most keyboards like that are going to be you buy one, it breaks, you buy another, most expensive keyboards don't even have a place where you can just buy parts for them besides looking around ebay and places for a broken one that you can take the good parts out of. But in this case why buy parts for it or do any of that when you can literally buy the exact same keyboard brand new for $28?
