for the 5V, put the black probe into pin3 (grey wire), and the red probe into pin 4(grey wire, this is the opposite of the black wire), and measure for the 5V
connector layout:
___
|o| black (12V)
|o| grey (ground)
|o| grey (ground)
|o| grey (5V)

Ok will try that I was measuring with the drive cable off.
Getting 3.5v for the 12v and 5.15v for the 5v. How do I test the middle two?
Which prong should I solder my wire to, to get the 12v wire
Thanks for all the help, i wire it to the prong and now my blu ray drive is working fine.
here a picture of my setup
