Hey robbieboy,
Welcome to 360-Hq mate..
We know your a xbox-hq veteran and its good to see ya finally move up to 360..
Hopefully you should have no problems at all.
I have a launch NTSC(USA) 360 and its still fine apart from the occassional laser issue.. Just be sure to keep your 360 well ventilated.
In otherwords, dont just cram it into your stereo cabinet (if you have one).. It needs plenty of air.
anyway, let us know what you think when you get a chance to go online.

Dont let your crappy internet stop you man. As long as you have a basic broadband connection you will get some gametime.. Its totally worthy man. You will see if you give online a chance.
apart from that ask your questions man. We wil do our best to sort them for you.

the thing is hobbs it's only 64kbps and that's the best i can get at the moment, unless i get my own dish witch is $1500 to install it and $120 a month......
but were hoping to get broadband next year but who knows....
i live in a little town in Ecuador right up in the mountains, so were a lot behind the rest of the world..... _________________________________________________________

First, you need a flashlight so you can see inside easily. Then look at the BOTTOM of the console (or the side opposite of the HD) and stick the flashlight up to the grill. If you look VERY closely at the middle area, you should see the side of the CPU heatsink. It is very tall, silver, and has a gold rod coming out the bottom and again at the top (it loops).
If you see at the very bottom, there should be a line of black little cylinders. These go from the left most area of the bottom to the right most area. If you look directly above these black (with gold lettering (at least that is what mine is)) cylinders, and directly LEFT of the CPU heatsink, you should see something that is “floating” above the black cylinders. You should also see a nub of either silver or gold towards the left on this floating heatsink.
You will only see it over the last TWO-THREE black cylinders. You should see the numb of silver/gold in between the last two black cylinders.
Take a look at the below picture. You should see that nub and the side of the silver through the bottom of the console. Notice how the nub is in between the last two black cylinders.
this is from the people at
