XboX Recall !!!! 14,000,000 Units declared fire hazard !!!!

Okay.....so if that report is correct, the older XBoxs have a slight problem with their power supply and soldering.

There can't be THAT many XBox's of those versions out there, though.

If that really IS the problem, why not just do a recall? Tell customers what is going on, ask them to send in their units, you pay for shipping going in, they pay for it going back out.

That's what Sony is doing with the DRE problems with the PS2.

Instead, if the report is correct, all this new power cord is going to do is prevent future problems, but you still may end up with a broken XBox -- and then what do you do? Pay big bucks to have MS or someone fix it.

This is one time I think Sony may actually have better customer service then MS. x_x

Damn I can't get a new power cord because my MFG date and Serial are rubbed off of my xbox from taking it with me on trips and to friends houses.

do you still have the box your xbox came in
all the info should be on the top of the box on the white sticker (if im not mistaken)

[Bluteg]

Thanks, I never thought of that. I'll check the box ASAP.

Well it wasn't on the box but I did find the Serial # on the warranty card. Good thing I didn't send it in!

Though I'm not sure if anyone else got one(two lazy to read all the posts)

I just got a Letter from Xbox in the mail. x_x

About the cord etc...Though I've already got my cords.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

etc..

According to the article posted, there were 30 reports of "minor injury or property damage due to faulty cables."

The topic of this thread has eight exclamation marks.

That's 1 exclamation mark for every 3.75 reports.

That is all.

I forgot to mention this...I received my cord the other day and I plugged it in the day after and the damn thing doesn't work right! I had to call them and ask for a replacement for my replacement.
