Thanks for the guide!
Great guide. I have an elite. Mine says 16.2A?
I also have an elite, mine also says 16.2A. What does that mean?
now that you have made us all paranoid, I too have an Elite , so are there Falcon and Jasper issues with these units?
Thanks
Guys, there is seriously nothing wrong with having a Falcon at all. I have a Falcon myself too.
i just bought A used XBOX 360 and the numbers for it are 12v 16,5A; 5v 1a ? i bought it knowing it had the 4red lights, was wanting to know if anyone knew what to do to fix it without sending it off? thanks, you may also text me, 816 739 1218 thanks again
Hi, um I got a Xbox 360 Arcade that has the 14.2A and I was wondering if it was safe from the “Red Ring of Death” or if I should just go ahead and throw it away and just get a new Resident Evil Limited Edition Xbox 360 Elite with the 12.1A Jasper Unit.
Hi
ok just to make sure…i have an xbox arcade and the power lable read 12v..12.1A and 5V…1A, thats 150W. My adapter reads 12v..16.5A and 5V…1A, thats 203W. SO can I use this adapter with the xbox or do I need a step down converter. THanks.
I enjoy this commentary. Thanks for having it ace in its own spot. I get excited when I see fierce righteous mobs hasting to open bags of feathers and warm the tar. So much we figure only a little piece of the write up and rather we let ire do the thought for us.
my xbox 360 elite was from the goty bundle. The label reads ” 12v..16.5a. 5v…1a ” and the brick reads “203 w” do i have a jasper or what chip please tell me.
Hey, just today discovered this blog but I have to say that it looks awesome. I totally agree with you. Does someone have some tips on how to repair the casing of my xbox, it has broken.
Fantastic post. Keep publishing more interesting posts. PC’s are becoming quicker and cheaper. Consumers are more developed to what is obtainable. Secondhand Computers are a way to purchase a less exspensive computer
I just bought a new xbox 360 build date is dec 29 2009. it says 12.1 on the rear label, and my power cable is a jasper one (has the bar splitting the top portion) although the connection on the xbox itself does not have the notch it’s supposed to fit into, looks as if it is a falcon connection. any ideas what i should do? having microsoft correct the problem will take to long. would it be okay to cut a notch myself or go out and find a used/referbed falcon power supply?
Guy above with the 4 red lights: 4 = no AV cable is pluged in. 3 is a hardware failure(RRoD)
Hey extremely good weblog!!
Its incredible now there is a cool way to fix your XBOX 360 RED RING OF DEATH I just found out today.
hi-ya, I view all your blogs, keep them coming.
All
Here’s the list of Amperage ratings and the motherboard version used:
16.5A – Xenon/Zephyr – used in launch consoles and the first Elite systems.
14.2A – Falcon/Opus – used in 90nm GPU/65nm CPU systems as well as some factory refurbished launch consoles.
12.1A – Jasper – used in the newest range of consoles.
Note – the TYPE of console has no bearing on the motherboard used with the exception of the first Elite consoles (identifiable by the Amperage). Therefore Arcade, Pro and Elite consoles could have a Falcon or Jasper motherboard in them. The ratings above are the only real way to tell.
