[SOLVED] Help with pinouts on webcam

[iamacly]

Hi Everyone,
I amtrying to reuse a webcam from an old Dell computer. I believe I can wire this up to a USB cable and use it as a discrete webcam/spycam anyway, I need a little help witht h pinouts. There are 8 wires identified as
DigiLoop
USB+
USB-
3V3
M_CLK
M_GND
M_SIG
DGND
I know that USB+ and USB- are the data, but not sure what to connect the power to. I tried 3V3 and DGND but that didn't work and not keen to experiment incase I dmamage my USB port. Any asisstance greatly appreciated.
Regards
Iamacly

Is there any chance the computer will boot? What PC model and year?

What is the model number of the computer? Or better yet the Dell part number of the webcam?

Thanks for the link, still cannot get the camera to be recognised, although I do now get a message that "the last USB device you connected malfunctioned or is not working properly" I suspect because the camera expects 3.3v and not 5v. Dell always seem to do things differently, PITA really. Will look to buy a small camera on ebay.

Tahnsk for the assistance though
