DVI wire colors/pinouts for male connector

[mykuls]

I have seen many posts/blogs about how to convert Apple displays to DVI, but I cannot find a chart that lists the pinouts of the wires in a DVI-D cable. I attempted to shorten a cable for my "eHack" via splicing, but that didn't work so well. I would like to solder it right to the male connector but I have no idea what wire goes where. All of the charts online list the description of the wire, but not the color. I don't know how to match that up. I am going to fool around with an ohm meter but I will be surprised if I figure that out.

There are 19 colored wires, 14 of them in shielded pairs each with a bare silver wire.

Unshielded:
orange, yellow braided
red
white
purple

Shielded:
Brown/White
Black/White
Blue/White
Pink/White
Green/White
Orange/White
Yellow/White


Does anyone know how that translates into:
Pin 1 TMDS Data 2- Digital red - (Link 1)
Pin 2 TMDS Data 2+ Digital red + (Link 1)
Pin 3 TMDS Data 2/4 shield
Pin 4 TMDS Data 4- Digital green - (Link 2)
Pin 5 TMDS Data 4+ Digital green + (Link 2)
Pin 6 DDC clock
Pin 7 DDC data
Pin 8 Analog vertical sync
Pin 9 TMDS Data 1- Digital green - (Link 1)
Pin 10 TMDS Data 1+ Digital green + (Link 1)
Pin 11 TMDS Data 1/3 shield
Pin 12 TMDS Data 3- Digital blue - (Link 2)
Pin 13 TMDS Data 3+ Digital blue + (Link 2)
Pin 14 +5V Power for monitor when in standby
Pin 15 Ground Return for pin 14 and analog sync
Pin 16 Hot plug detect
Pin 17 TMDS data 0- Digital blue - (Link 1) & digital sync
Pin 18 TMDS data 0+ Digital blue + (Link 1) and digital sync
Pin 19 TMDS data 0/5 shield
Pin 20 TMDS data 5- Digital red - (Link 2)
Pin 21 TMDS data 5+ Digital red + (Link 2)
Pin 22 TMDS clock shield
Pin 23 TMDS clock+ Digital clock + (Links 1 and 2)
Pin 24 TMDS clock- Digital clock - (Links 1 and 2)
C1 Analog red
C2 Analog green
C3 Analog blue
C4 Analog horizontal sync
C5 Analog ground Return for R, G and B signals

Used a multimeter on all of the wires and found the corresponding pins. PITA. After it was all done, one of te middle wires must have popped off so the screen was purple.

hi, and the colors corresponded how? i am having the same problem, but bigger - i am trying to do this without multimeter....
