Electrical – HP Pavilion DV6000 webcam wiring

How can I wire this 4 pin webcam from my old HP Pavilion DV6000?

I can't find any website that can help me with this 4 pin webcam.

As you can see it the image below, the wires black and blue are tangled together while the red and greenish or metallic like color wire are not. I don't have a multimeter right now because I don't need it in my course in college which is I.T. but we are focusing on programming.

I want to connect it to a USB cable so I can use it.

You are in luck. The camera is indeed a USB webcam. All you have to do is to properly wire it to a USB cable.

Someone here has already found the connections for a similar model. The pins and color codes match yours.

Red: +5 : Pin 3 : USB +5V Pin 1 (Red)

White: Ground : Pin 1 : USB GND Pin 4 (Black)

Black: D- : Pin 5 : USB Pin 2 (White)

Blue D+ : Pin 4 : USB Pin 3 (Green)

Hook those up as described and plug it in.

Your computer should recognize it as a USB device. Find a suitable driver, and you should be good to go.
