you guys heard about the new jasper right? its the 65nm chip and uses a lot less juice, meaning it runs cooler, and the stupid cpu/gpu won’t de-soder itself because of the lead free soder. They also improved the new heatsink design so it won’t warp the board as much, meaning you won’t get 3 red rings as much 🙂 so far my 360 has been solid after I modded the xclamp, I don’t know how long its gonna last but we’ll see. they also found a way to flash the new liteon drives which were ‘unflashable’ a few months ago, so there is no issue with the new 360s now 🙂 ---

The four light error is supposed to be not hooked up audio video cables to the console. if they are hooked up unplug them and plug em back in. ---
