> early gen units…rumor was that some were produced too quickly for holiday season and with poor QA from one of their overseas factories…thus bad soldering points. that, and the heat shield foil causes condensation and combined with high temp change eventually cracks the poor connections.  
> this is not limited to just a handful of units, and the fix is well known. that is why a broken xbox still goes for about $150 on ebay…because you can fix it for about $15

mine is about 6 months old so idk if this is the cause but the 15 dollar fix if you could send me some details on that…it would be greatly appreciated
