well that makes things harder. you'd be better off not finding out if you can wreck things by hooking it up wrong lol. how about making a quick tester to map your cord out?
two pieces of wire, a led, and a 820ohm resistor (or any resistor you have on hand that works with the led). solder the resistor to your led's + leg (the + is the smaller finger inside the led, while the - is the big triangular one) and the - side to one of the wires. solder the other end of this wire to any ground on the mainboard (the copper plate works, or the - battery terminal). solder the second wire to the positive battery terminal on the inside of the case (the terminal, not the dc converter board). pop in the batterys, pinch your resistor to one of the wires in your DMG-04 cord and tap your + wire from the battery terminal to the connector's cluster of 6 solder points on the board. one of them with make your led light up and tell you which is which you dont need to turn the dmg on to test it this way, and no, you cant get shocked doing this anymore than you can by pinching a AA battery between two fingers lol. the left 3 solder points on the mainboard (top being the side with the power switch) correspond to the top 3 in the connector (top being the side with the rounded edges).
beyond that, buy a cheap multimeter lol
