Thanks - registered for a new one.

 

Does anyone remember MS having to do a similar power cord replacement on the original xbox? They sent out new leads with an inline RCD because the issue was internal to the xbox (solder joints cracking resulting in arcing) and a new cable with extra safety measures was far easier. Different issue this time though by the looks of it.
