Apple 30" cinema display DVI pinout - colors of the cables in the connector

I have the 30 inch Apple Cinema display with torn DVI connector - as far as I know the Mac to which it has been connected fell of the table (but the screen stayed ON the table). The problem is that 30" uses Dual Link so there are all pins connected, and there is even more wires than connectors so some ground wires must be connected to the same pins. I have the original connector so I have been able to localize some colors but there is a way to many white and ground wires to be 100% sure
I am looking for the way to identify the connections colors at the DVI connector.
So far I have localized that the cable is build from 7 groups of 3 wires coded by the main color + white + ground
in the follwing groups:

light orange, white, black ground
pink, white, black ground
light pink, white, black ground
light yellow, white, black ground
light blue, white, black ground
light green, white, black ground
white, black, black ground

and individual wires:

blue, red, yellow, orange, brown

So there are 26 wires and the connector has only 24+1 pins, and 2 pins look like never soldered.

ANYBODY HAS THE COLOR CODING AT THE DVI CONNCECTOR PLEASE?



I am located in Krakow, Poland, far away, and the screen had been sent from Canada. If you may have some info for me please contact me at a64@interia.pl
