I am currently offsite and without my trusty tools.
I am converting an integrated webcam from an old Asus X52J laptop into an USB webcam but the colors of the wiring kinda threw me off.
Here's a couple of images:
How do i match them to a standard black-red-green-white USB cable?
Webcam part no. is 04g620008630 0420-006a000 11261025542 1211

SOLUTION:
It is a 5V camera but the polarity is inverted:
- (USB cable) <---> (Webcam)
- RED (+5v) <---> BLACK
- BLACK (GND) <---> ORANGE
- WHITE (D+) <---> BROWN
- GREEN (D-) <---> RED
- nothing <---> YELLOW
Then it gets correctly detected:
usb 2-1.2: new high-speed USB device number 7 using ehci-pci usb 2-1.2: New USB device found, idVendor=13d3, idProduct=5130 usb 2-1.2: New USB device strings: Mfr=2, Product=1, SerialNumber=0 usb 2-1.2: Product: USB 2.0 Camera usb 2-1.2: Manufacturer: Sonix Technology Co., Ltd.

Actually for me the order of data pins is the other way round, i.e. standard for USB. Nevertheless thank you, as your identification was very helpful. (After soldering as per your schematics, I decided to reverse data pins, as power draw seemed fine (power pins not terribly wrong), and dmesg returned some “cannot enumerate” message which looked to me like just data pins being wrong..)
