Pop Quiz, Whats this extra cord Microsoft added to the fan!

[Dragkhar]

Does anyone know what this extra attachment is? I think at one time this xbox was sent into repair and it was returned with it.
Its extra wires has gotten into the way, there must be some reason they added it though. Any thoughts?

Just fyi, it connects to the fan and the wires between the main board and Disc drive.

I have seen that only on consoles that have been repaired, usually by gamestop. i believe it is there version of a 12V fan mod, and the console i had that had that cord also got a RROD soon after I installed a Demon and R-Jtag to it. It lasted 2 days, and I think part of the problem is that I removed that cable, and replaced it with a stock dvd power cord. either that or the system had some serious overheating problems.
