Schematic for black inverter cable that connects to logic board

I am attempting to salvage an iMac G5 20" Model A1076. Upon reassembly the black cable with six wires that connects the Inverter to the logic board  disconnected from plastic six prong female plug where cable plugs into logic board. Is there a schematic that provides the proper pin-out for the six wires that attach to the logic board?

eli Lucas, you will have to post an image of your inverter and the cables with your question. The wiring on your connector from left to right is:

24V

24V

Ground

Ground

Brightness

3.3V

an image of where the cables are connected on the inverter should help to figure out which wire is what.

I reversed engineered other Apple wiring harnesses and each seems to follow the same pattern. When positioning the wire receivers in the same orientation, the cable order follows the same orientation in each plug.

I am eternally grateful for your time and wisdom. The small black cable that consists of six small black wires inserted into a plastic plug is the problem. The six wires became separated from the plastic plug and I do not know which order to reassemble the wire harness to the plastic plug. Any ideas?

I've done the same thing. My solution was to just order a new cable. But OldTurkey has the solution.
