Something strange is happening with my R-Jtag (Falcon)

I left my Cig Lighter at work Friday night and have been using my electric grill lighter instead. I was having freezing issues all weekend while playing GTA V and it's very odd because I never have a problem at all 99.9% of the time. I woke up this morning and made my coffee as usual, fired up the Xbox to get a little more game time in before work. I get on the GTA stock market and buy up cheap MorsInsurance stock at 6.84 a share and wait for an increase, as soon as I lit my smoke with the electric lighter the game froze. I reboot and get the game going again and just for sh*ts and giggles I used the electric lighter again.... and it froze up again. I said "WTF", and it freezes up every time I use the lighter without fail. The lighter makes a very loud "click" sound when used, I didn't know that soundwaves or their frequencies could interupt electronics like this....very interesting! My grill lighter has an EMP effect on the Xbox.
I don't need support or anything, just a normal lighter.

Well... lighters arent shielded very well, so it could be a weird problem with the cpu_rst wire picking up something.

I suggest you post images as per the template.

It might help isolate the issue. Your console should be protected via an EMI shield but I've seen stranger things.
