edit from looking i think i need to solder then one that isn't white, black, green, or red to the black because in http://www.networktechinc.com/technote.html u see pin 5 is teh ground (black) and looking at the thing in your post it all the others match to the colors. but there might be a problem.... the cable i ahve might not haave a wire out of pin 4 at all and just be on the head, u think that would happen?

you are correct in that a premade Mini-B wire will not have anything connected to pin 4 at all. what you have to do is bridge it right on the H300's female port, there was a picture somewhere (i gotta find it.. it was 1cf2's). i'm not sure of any colors, as i haven't yet dissected any usb cables myself.

the way he put the jumper it doesn't interfere with the mating of the connectors.
