maestro, where did you get this cable and what pins are connected? din -- parallel
could it be pin1 is not connected? (it's mirrored to pin5)

i got the cable from a power seller on ebay who sells these cables all the time apparently
pins 1,2,3,6,4 are connected at the round (din) end
pin 5 has no cable what so ever |
