Xbox Silm

Ryu · 10-08-2010, 01:10 AM

Hey guys, I've been debating whether or not I should get one of these because of the known R.R.O.D. problem, but with the newer model out, I've heard that M.S. has tried to addressed the problem. I was wondering if anyone knows or has had any issues with the slim?

Thanks.

I have the new Xbox and haven't had a problem with it yet.

I think that it's a bit early to say but I think that the extra ventilation that is part of the reason that it is a lot quieter also helps address the issue of overheating which is what caused the RROD issues in the original machine.

My slim is actually fairly loud. The DVD drive causes some vibrations in the case that make it sound pretty bad. I've also had several complete lockups, but I had those with my original launch model, too. Too early to say if the RROD problem is resolved.

I have the Slim and so does my brother, I think you may have something loose somewhere, you may want to contact MS about it , because Both our systems are very very quiet. Barely even know its on.

Now as far as the original question...The RROD is now where as bad as it was...They tried to fix it with the the Slim which has a new Chip, new motherboard and a better Vent system. This is the best time to get an Xbox, plus it is now Wifi.

Yeah, I called them on it. Pretty funny, actually. They had me lay it down in the horizontal position. They ask how it sounded so I told them better. Then he immediately asks me if there's anything else he can do for me. Sure, you can help me get this issue fixed since vertical standing is supposed to work without issue, haha.

Long story short, I was able to get the loud vibrating sound by lightly touching the case. I have a ticket open, I've just been too lazy and busy to get it back in to them.
