Do a google search for XBox LED or something like that. I've looked it up before. Also, just have your friend go to XBox.com to get the new cable for free. You should check into it also just to make SURE you don't have one of the old ones.

If you registered your product, which I’m sure most people should have, Xbox sent out letters warning people about the cables. And if you didn’t get a replacement cord, they hound you with more letters… so get a free cable on Microsoft. Remember, free and Microsoft should never be used in the same sentence.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

Either the cables or its over heated from too many 16player games and over-night lans. Maybe this should be moved to the flood?

Well, I think most people have learned NOT to register products from anyone because they often sell that information to other companies.

Besides, I have a friend whos XBox caught on fire, but they refused to do anything about it because he had to take it apart to get the game out that was still in it at the time. Pretty F'd up if you ask me.

I'm kinda on my third. I bought a replacement (number 2) because the DVD-rom went bad, then the DVD-rom drive went bad in this one, so I bought a new DVD-rom. So, in a way I'm on number 3. Probably just a matter of time before this one goes out.

I think its in the instruction booklet. My friends broke and it flashed orange and red. He couldnt get on live or to the dashboard. Call customer support and ask.

Only works if an Overlord posts, not ninjas. Or something like that I think...
