So like the title said , i was thinking of getting a jtag from Bestbuy but I'm concerned if it will be the new Corona board that can't be Jtaged ?

Most likely not but the longer you wait the better your chances are of getting the new mb.

Hi I just got a new 360 and 9.6a on the PSU, I guess its a corona! no JTAG for me.

I see . That sucks, so we have to be very careful before we actually buy a new one.

i was wondering the same thing - i know the corona's are 115w any way to tell with outer identifications on the box? like watts?

Is there any way to know which version before u open the box?

If you buy a refurb slim from ebgames/gamestop you should be safe

Not a bad idea. I was hoping to get the $50 GC deal at Target and get a 4gb system brand new. Not sure they will have any of the older motherboards though. A refurb from Gamestop would actually cost me $180. Rather have the new if I could find one....Is there any way to know from the outside of the box? Or are there any bundles that for sure come with the older motherboard?

Before I open up the actual 360, and void the warranty, and thereby ruin any chances of returning it for a refund....


I just bought a slim... the back of the slim itself says 10.83a, and the power brick says 10.83a. Is it safe to say it is a Trinity board, and NOT a Corona?

from everything I read you should be good. I am sure someone can confirm that for sure though.

Where did you get that one? What model system is it?

Check the MFD, anything before aug/july 11 is good, I believe.

It's a 4gb slim purchased from Amazon.



The date is 09-08-2011, which is why I am confused. I know the Trinity power bricks are 10.83A, and supposedly the Corona are 9.xxA.

I finally opened my new slim, it is indeed a Trinity.

Im wondering the same thing. Is there any indication from actually looking at the box? I have a corona from 9-8. I don't have the box anywhere is there a way to tell from the outside of the box?
