Cheers. Had a feeling mine was dodgy, as it made some nasty electrical sparking noises recently

LOL I love my Xbox and this is the only thing that has been wrong with it in almost 3 years, but only Microsoft could **** up a power cord.

Do you have to send the old ones back? I've no idea if the X-box is even running off the MS lead or if I used it elsewhere at some time!

MS isnt the only ones, Dell have recalled laptop power supplys of a certain make from 1998-2001. oh well we've been using them for 5yrs now, better late then never eh....

The Xbox website says I dont need a new cord, but mine was manufactured on the 11 October 2003, and when I plugged the cord back in after checking the SN it sparked and didnt sound too good

Wonder if they will send me one if I ring them?
