I have an inspection scope camera that I’m attempting to repair. It’s one with a camera on the end of a flexible rod to see into tight spaces. The pins that lead to the camera came out of the connector. I tried looking for teardowns or even replacement parts, but found nothing.
Two pins are still inserted, but I’m not confident they are in the right places. I want to get it working without the risk of frying everything. I’ve done my best to find where each pin goes, but there’s not enough info for me figure it out on my own. The camera rod also includes an LED for light.
Here’s a photo of the connector as it is:
And here is the socket with it’s pins labeled (the labels correspond to the testing pads and not to the socket pins):
Here’s a zoomed out pic if it’s of any use:
I have a multimeter, so I can do any testing you can suggest. Unfortunately, I was not able to disassemble the camera to trace any wires.

I (very carefully) tested the pins for a brief moment to verify it all was working.
First I verified the voltage of vcc as 3.5v. red to that and black to ground worked.
I figured the blue was probably in it’s correct place so I tried it and got video.
Quick test with green have me LED power.
The make part of the plug is borked, so I’ll just solder the wires on. Might even fashion up my own plug if I’m feeling fancy. I’m sure I got some spare connectors lying around somewhere.
