I'm confused my Xbox 360 has 3 heat sinks like a Falcon but the Power Brick says 203w,and Xenon only have 2 heat sinks,so do i have a Falcon or Xenon?
If it still has the silver heat sink it could be a xenon (old model). If a xenon breaks and is sent to ms for repair the heatsinks are updated. Which makes a xenon into an opus. If you wana see your motherboard look @ the manufacture date or compair you power adapter to a diagram.
well that's odd. i was sure and am still unsure on my results. 203w box AND brick, team CSON, but batch .0742. ive heard over 736 or something were falcons. and i have the older copper piped heatsink. so i probably have pre-falcon. which is fine, as it's lasted 4 years now haha.
ok i hav a falcon chip in my xbox and i keep reading bout how the falcon chip is "economical in heat output" but mine gets extremely hot and i only just bout it back to life after the RROD wtf!!!!
i gotta halo 3 edition, made in 07, it works amazingly good, considering the whole inside had literally, a blanket of dust inside it and the fans didnt even spin for liek a week from dust. but ive cleaned it and its in tip top shap now. but i mean like, is my xbox likely to fail?
@GreenThunderLuigi Ooops sorry for the late reply but I don't really check my youtube messages but I'm still going to reply for those people who may be wondering the same. I'ts on the sticker on the back of the Xbox above the A/V out and what you look for is right above the "MADE IN CHINA"
falcon has 14% failure rate not 92% where the hell did you get that number lol im also surprised that you still have a working xenos i thought thoes all rroded years ago
yep, but not the very old models like opus and the others, they still sell falcon models but microsoft only produces the newest model (jasper), only on arcade and pro consoles (the elite its only falcon)
alright i did what u said and i can see a block like that and no copper pipe thing. and like in ur other vid there are only 2 of those wire circle things.But the box and the power brick say 203 W. lot#0737 TEAM:FDOU Date:9-14-2008...and the power brick insert is metal not plastic...CAN U HELP ME!!!!PLEASE ASAP!!!
yeah my Falcon just suffered the red ring of death, I am gettign a refund with it though, going to buy another falcon, hopefully it doesnt give up on me.
Awesome, I was unsure if my 360 really had a Falcon Chip since I bought it from Ebay. I was scared for frauds! But thanks to your video, I can confirm its a Falcon Chip. They say the boxes should show "Team :FDOU" along with "175w"
but mine shows "Team :CSON = 205W" however my brick does show 175W, and mine did come with the HDMI port.
You don't need to open anything up like in this video although that's fine too if you want. Besides the manufactured date, you can also check the back of the 360, if it has HDMI, 175W power brick, plastic power connector going in to the 360 (not metal), and a BenQ DVD drive (U shape when it comes out), than it's a Falcon.
when was it manufactured? October 2007 - later? If before that than it's probably a Zephyr (2nd gen) and not the Falcon (3rd gen). Well if it's still working and you've played it quite a bit, it should be fine either way, plus you have a 3 year microsoft warranty regardless. Chances are you're fine.
another way check the sticker on the case above where the power cable goes in check it online BOOM your done :D
