Thanks but i am broke and the key board that broke cost a lot of money

Answer
in that case, i'd just order a replacement cable from the manufacturer...got to have a couple bucks anyway...otherwise all you can do is try different wiring combinations untill you get it. unfortunately, color codes are far from universal, sometimes even same brand, different model will be wired different. trial and error is the only way...
