    I'm trying to merge a M7700 LCD lid that contains the Alien LED board that has a 4-pin USB connector and the lid has a webcam with another 4-pin USB connector.

    Issue: The D900T motherboard has a SINGLE 4-pin connector where the webcam was connected. So, how do I take 2 cables from the lid containing a USB cable for the webcam and another cable for the LED board (under the alien head) and plug them into the motherboard? I must be missing another cable or Y-splitter. :mad:

    Can someone who knows the internals of the M7700 lid tell me how this is wired? Pictures and part numbers would be great too.
