My Asus Transformer USB port has broken several times, so the connector itself is now damaged due to the soldering. My only option is to cut the wire and connect it to one of my unused USBs, but their wires are different.
How do I connect a red, orange, yellow, green and white wired USB connector to a yellow, blue, brown and red wired USB connector?
here's the standard pinout colour code for a 1.x/2.0 connector (borrowed from Wikipedia)
Pin Name1 VBUS Red +5 V2 D− White(Gold *) Data −3 D+ Green Data +4 GND Black(blue*) Ground
.- D+ D- +
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

NB ..but you'd be missing the 5th USB pin line from the asus charge cable to tell it to switch to 15V charging instead of 5V. Though a fix can seemingly be made by grounding the 5th (pin7) wire of the Asus USB 3 connector using a replacement USB 2.0 (bridged/soldered over to pin 4 as above), you'd be best to use a USB 3 connector/ cable if you have one.

This page has the full diagram that shows which wires go where.
Worked great for me, i just finished fixing mine. Putting on some cheap +2 reading glasses greatly help this microscopic task. Good luck!
