ANSWERED Is there a way to identify Slims from the outside?

[Sirillion]

I was just wondering if there is a way to identify what kind of motherboard the Slim pack without opening the chassis? I am headed into town to a used console dealer on Monday and I do not think they will let me open the console in the store to check if it is a Trinity or older

I read somewhere on this forum about what power consumption the new ones have but I do not remember the details and I cannot find back to the thread.

Hopefully someone can help me

No bother, just seconds after creating this thread I found what I was looking for in the UBER guide put together by Darkfib3r.

The infograph in this thread was uber helpfull!

Yeah I tried that but I only found a n00b-friendly guide with information on how to identify if from the motherboard layout

anything b4 august is ok. look at the current rating on the back of the xbox too, should say 10.83A or something similiar, if its 9.xA its a corona.
