Dell Webcam Hack

briafalk
briafalk over 11 years ago

I am hoping someone out there can help me with an issue I am having.  My 11yr old son and I have a Dell webcam that we took out of an Inspiron 1525, the model of the web cam board is 06P231A and the camera is a CN0DP157.  We have successfully been able to connect the first for cables, black, green, white, and red to a USB cable and get the camera up and working.  We now are trying to get the microphone to work, but not 100% sure where to start.  The board has 2 microphones and 3 remaining cables, they are purple, lime green and light brown (i hope I am not too color blind at 10 PM).  We only have a multimeter to test with.  How can we tell what the pin out is on this, and can we just connect this up to a 3.5 mm jack and plug it into a mic port on a PC.  Any help on this would be immensely appreciate.
