Apparantly there is a recall on Xbox Power adapters. You can read all about it at news.com. It seems to effect US consoles sold before Oct ‘03. Go get yourself a new cord!
give us your serial and where you live, so we can track you down and see if you have a modified xbox. ;)
i want to know how it shorts out… poor shielding…. what?
does it say that it shorts out? i didn’t actually read it. i was under the understanding that it just get hot enough to burn and/or start a fire after it’s been left on for “a long time”. this tells me that the shielding is fine, just the gauge of wire they used it too small for the current draw, which therefore causes it to heat up.
personally, i’ve never had a problem with it, and i watch movies/play games/listen to music for hours. makes you wonder how long some of these people have left their xboxs on.
