Anyone with soldering experience: Can you help me fix my thumb drive?

April 10th, 2010
Help from anyone good with circuit boards and whatnot (any electrical engineers out there?) would be greatly appreciated.
Original question here. Progress I’ve made so far: I’ve managed to get power to the flash drive by attaching a new USB head. Surprisingly it worked but the drive still isn’t appearing on any computer. So now I’m not sure what the problem is.
Are the wires soldered onto the wrong pins? Is there some other thing I should be doing to get everything working again?
I don’t think any wires or leads are touching. And I’ve learned that the green and white wires are for data, and the red and black are for power if that helps anyone out. Pictures below:

If anyone could help it would save me so much work and time. So thank you in advanced.
