derbaff Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 I just broke my DIN plug while cleaning. I have an old ps/2 mouse I want to use to replace it. Can I get that wiring diagram too please? My email is "derbaff at yahoo dot com" (replace the "at" and "dot"). Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric618 Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Could I also please get a copy of that wiring diagram. My plug is also broken. Please send it to Eric at KnuckleheadDesigns dot com Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWho Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Here you go: At least I hope klipsch doesn't mind this being posted on the forum...if not, Amy will probably remove it. Btw, you can always just purchase a replacement Control Pod for $21: http://www.klipsch.com/product/product.aspx?cid=780 It's a bit on the expensive side but it's the price for being lazy. I personally went the replacement route cuz it'd prob be built better than I could do it myself. Would it be possible for Klipsch to sell just a replacement DIN cable? Perhaps on an individual basis? I opened the pod up and noticed that it would be really easy to just swap out the cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derbaff Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Ok, I finally have time this weekend to sit down and try to fix my din plug. I want to just replace the broken plug with the plug from an old IBM ps/2 mouse. Has anyone done this? The wire colors are completely different on the mouse and I cannot find any information about these wire colors on the internet. Can anyone help, I really don't want to replace the entire preamp just for a cable (why don't klipsch just sell the cable?). Thank you.

Thank you. ---------------- I think you can purchase DIN plugs from your local Radio Shack if not Partsexpress.com I believe one reason that Klipsch doesn't sell these cables is because they don't make them...it sounds totally like something that a seperate wire facility would assemble and have shipped to the assembly lines (at least that's how we did it in Michigan when building the Brunswick consoles). It'd still be nice if Klipsch would be willing to sell a DIN plug repair kit or something like that...Cable manufacturer are supposed to have an error rate below 1% and at the rate Klipsch is putting these together I have a hard time believing every unit is being tested...or more likely the DIN cables are working in the factory but quickly fall apart. The sad part is that contracts get made and they're prob stuck with these cables otherwise they'd have to eat a lot of cost (Keep in mind that if they change their cable provider, they have to get their product recertified which is another big headache). I know Brunswick is sticking with 20 and 30 year old designs simply because the recertification process is time consuming and expensive. They would sooner go with an entirely new lineup, than try to fix an old one (which it seems might be in the workings right now). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
czc Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 derbaff, use a tester to figure out which wire end is attached to the DIN pins, and if you don't have a tester, you can make your own with cable , small battery and a lamp or a buzzer.

BuddhaPhi Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 My DIN became completely disconnected from the cable and I've done enough soldering that it seemed simple enough to repair. The probIem is that don't have the same colored wiring with my 4.1 system compared to DrWho's diagram above. Also from what I can tell, even my colored wires didn't match to the locations in the diagram at all. Here's what I think my pins originally looked like: 1. White 2. Blue 3. Not sure (Yellow or Orange) 4. Not sure '' '' 5. Green 6. Black 7. Brown 8. Red Shield - bare wire etc... That seems simple enough but I've yet to get any sound at all. After numerous attempts at guessing which wire goes to which pinI've about given up hope of ever repairing the speakers. For the money I paid for these speakers when they were new, and numerous hardware problems I've had since, I debate whether I will buy another Klipsch set. Still, if anyone has any ideas, I'd certainly appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what it's worth, an incorrect guess could very well destroy some of the electronics in the process...so even if you got it right after a few wrong attempts, the odds are pretty high that it won't work until replacing the destroyed parts.
