M-Audio Sputnik

Opened up the Sputnik to find a couple of the soldered wires came loose.





the connector ( found through Google )
------
7 pin connector :
1: Gnd
2: heater +6.68 vdc (goes to A+ on ckt board)
3: B+ 120.4 vdc (goes to B+ on ckt board) --
4: audio out to xlr pin 2 ???? <<< (Transformer, Why does it say pin 2?? )
5: audio out to xlr pin 3 ????? <<< (Transfomer, Why does it say pin 3?? )
6: heater return 0 vdc (goes to A- on ckt board)
7: no connection


This is how I have the wires now.
Pin 1 = Ground
Pin 2 = Yellow (( A+))
Pin 3 = Orange(( B+))
Pin 4 = 2ndYellow (( Going to Transformer ))
Pin 5 = Green (( Going to Transformer ))
Pin 6 = Purple ((A-))
Pin 7 = No Connection

Transformer:
Red((LOW)) ... 2ndYellow ((Pin 4 ))...Green((Pin 5))....Brown((HI)

It was working for a minute then it stopped....No signal to the audio interface...

What am I doing wrong???

Which wires were disconnected?

I probably should have noted it down .. :-\

In the picture it looks like black and I think red was coming loose.
I saw someone mention all the wires don't have to be connected,

Pin 4 and 5 says "audio out to xlr 2 and 3" ... <<
But they both goto the transformer

-

Right now all of the pins are connected to a wire except for Pin #7.

Swapped around pin #4 and pin #5 ..

Pin #4 = + audio out xlr
Pin #5 = - audio out xlr

the capsule is lighting up again...... mad I didn't notice it before.....

But the audio interface still isn't picking up a signal....


7 pin connector :
1: Gnd
2: heater +6.68 vdc (goes to A+ on ckt board)  <<<<  Reads 7+ vdc on meter ... Good
3: B+ 120.4 vdc (goes to B+ on ckt board)        <<<<  Reads 119 vdc ????  Is this Bad???
4: audio out to xlr pin 2
5: audio out to xlr pin 3
6: heater return 0 vdc (goes to A- on ckt board)  <<<< Reads 0 good
7: no connection

So, now the order is:

Pin 1 = Ground ((Black Wire...which goes to BO on Circuit Board))
Pin 2 = Yellow (( A+))
Pin 3 = Orange(( B+))
Pin 4 = Green -- High going to transformer for audio out XLR - balanced
Pin 5 = 2nd Yellow -- Low going to transformer for audio out XLR - balanced
Pin 6 = Purple ((A-))
Pin 7 = No Connection

Have you made sure the cable, preamp, interface, A/D converter, etc. in your signal chain isn't the real problem? What do you mean by the capsule is "lighting up?" Do you mean the tube, or is there some sort of LED inside the headbasket?
