I have a very old textlcd board with a 4 pin connector in place of the current usb connector. Naturally I have lost the special cable and need a replacement, any ideas what I should be asking for?

You need a 3016_0

Unfortunately we don't sell them anymore. I'm not sure if you'll be able to source one.

it doesn't look that complicated, maybe I should just make one. Can you tell me the connector type and pin out?

The connector is the Molex
0050579404 , and you'll need the associated crimp pins (
0016020102 )
The pinout is as follows:
Red - USB 5V
White - USB Data-
Green - USB Data+
Black- USB Ground

You could buy one of the LED64 cables (same connector), a USB cable, cut them up, and solder them together.
