Why is it that while us 1.0 and 1.1 owners are getting cords like this

Other people get normal cords such as

If the "power cord recall" is just to stop the 1.0 and 1.1 PSUs from starting a fire (which I believe is the case.) why are newer machines getting replacemennt power cords?

Or have MS just used this one recall to fix problems with multiple Xbox versions?

That is not cool! I thought i'd get a free cord or 2 bcos u can use em for anything, but these are horrible, does that thing even do anything? They could've just given away normal power cords and said the wires were stronger or suttin.

But this is just poor! I don't want one like that! sad.gif

Ok, i took apart my xbox and looked more closely at my PSU in my 1.1. It i happen to have a Delta PSU inside of my 1.1 rather then a foxlink. So i guess this does not effect ALL 1.1. Somehow M$ knew that my 1.1 was one of the lucky ones that had a Delta PSU instead of a Foxlink and sent me the "replacement" power cord that looks identical to the original.

Heres some pics of my PSU in my 1.1:

What if your dash says it's a 1.1/1.2 version? Do I have a foxlink or a delta? I use MXM as my main dash. Please help me out with this one.

Anyone care to provide a quick step-by step to getting the PSU out so you can re-solder it?

I took my box apart, and got to the PSU, and didn't know how to take the bastard out, without having to remove a shitload of wires, and some that don't look like they'd go back?

So MS can't tell exactly what PSU everyone has by the serial number and manufacture date? So I suppose I'm safe then from the problem as long as it isn't foxlink then.

Unplug the power cord (you should have done this already), the big mobo power cable (1.0/1.1: just pull it really hard while wiggling, 1.2-1.6: there is a small clip you have to push), and the HDD power cable.

The PSU is held in with two torx 10 screws, they are on the left side, one in the front, one in the back. Remove the screws, then pull the power supply forward, then up.

On the backside where the power plug is is where you need to strengthen the solder joint.
