I think I know the answer to this... but I just wanted to check with you guys before I destroy anything !
So don't ask me why, but i had to buy an internal USB 2.0 to micro USB cable for an internal device I am using.
Now on my motherboard, the two USB 2.0 headers are set up so you can get 2 connections off one header... kind of like a computer case front panel. Now that is nice n easy when you have the 10 pin USB plug, and you just index it so the plug lines up with the (no ping) thingy.
Well in this case, I have a single row 5 pin cable...... I am pretty sure I know how to hook it up, but if the cable has 5 pins... do I plug it into the top row of the header which HAS the ground pin, or the bottom row with DOES NOT have the ground pin... does it matter? If you need a picture of this let me know.
The only marking aside from cable colors on the cable is an arrow showing pin one, which is going to be on the left.
