This isn't an USB device, so you can't connect this non-USB device to an USB Port (OK, you can, but it won't work !).

Why should your receiver "burn" ???
(if it's a receiver and no IrDA device)
If you've cutted the cable (why ever) and solder it back again, it should work.
It's not possible to give you more support with these pictures and without any informations what happened to this receiver, etc.

ok, thanks.  but the question is, when ill connect each color of Infrared to the usb cable, and connect the USB to my computer, the Infrared will be burn ??

Your USB cable should have the same colors.
black = GND, white (or yellow) = data (-), green (or blue) = data (+), red = VCC + 5 volt
But there's no special color code for an infrared diode.

[I hope its the correct forum for that question]
Hello, I'v read the article about the Question about USB infrared receiver to PC and I want to do it, but I dont need to make the reciver cuz i already have one. I would like to know how to connect it to the usb cable i have.

the reciver got 3 wires: red,blue,green.
the usb cable got 4:black,white,red,green.

I put photos so u can understand it better:

the Infra-Red receiver
The Infra-Red wires
The USB cable wires

Thanks alot.
