MICROSOFT ANNOUNCES POWER CORD REPLACEMENT FOR XBOX

Dear Xbox Customer:

I am writing to provide you with information about a free power cord
replacement program for Xbox.

Microsoft has chosen to replace the power cords on Xbox consoles
manufactured before October 23, 2003.  Our records indicate that you
may own one of these consoles.

We are providing replacement power cords because component failure
in a small number of consoles - fewer than 1 in 10,000 - has caused
burning inside the console or melting of the power cord where it
connects to the console.

Microsoft has designed the replacement power cords to protect you
and your Xbox from these component failures and a potential fire
hazard.

Check the manufacture date on the bottom of your console.  No action
is necessary if your console was manufactured on or after
October 23, 2003.

If your console was manufactured before October 23, 2003, go to
http://www.xbox.com and click on Power Cord Replacement for Xbox to get a free replacement power cord.  If you are unable to access this
website, please call 1800 073 897 in Australia and 0800 880 029 in
New Zealand.
http://communications3.msn.com/Key=16965.Dmw.C.DB.JV8WJL

Your new cord should arrive in two to four weeks.  Until you receive
and install your replacement power cord, turn off your Xbox when
it’s not in use.

We appreciate your cooperation and apologize for any inconvenience
this may cause you.


Robbie Bach
Senior Vice President, Home & Entertainment Division
Microsoft Corporation

Do your problems include burning of the xbox console? That is the issue being addressed with the cord replacement. Some Xbox's have caught on fire.

This has nothing to do with the stability of the Xbox.

Then this simply isn't going to fix that issue.

Are the surface of the disc's scratched?

Has your Xbox gone through any rough treatment, ie has it been dropped or anything else that could have bumped the laser?
