Yeah, I should have done more research here before jumping back into it. Got a good deal on the slim, so happy to have gotten the experience of the install. If the slim or the falcon die eventually, I'll move the RJTAG and the DemoN over to the jasper.

For what it's worth I wouldnt say slims are unreliable. Jaspers may be more reliable but I dont think you can lump slims in with Falcons, zephyrs, xenons etc. I prefer slims because they are fairly reliable and they look a lot better than phats IMO.

I haven't done thousands like you, but I've done my fair share and I've never seen one die for a reason other than someone screwing with something they shouldnt.

slims dont impress me much,simply because they have only been around since mid 2010 and i already have just as many dead slim boards here (and i can repair most anything and still cant figure most of em out) as i do old phat models that have been around since 2006 and up till now,thats not a good sign really.lol

It's all good man, I'm not trying to argue, just telling him it's not all doom and gloom with slims.

Thanks for all the input guys, I'm quite happy with what I've got. The falcon is still going strong after a year of having the RJTAG in it, and the jasper I've had for almost 2 years. The slim will be great as I set it up with the DemoN and CR4, can't seem to get those almost perfect rater scores I've read about, but it boots 1-2 glitches 90% of the time or better. If it starts to irritate me, I will take install photos and open a support thread.

u always got different caps to try and postbits
Yep, I've run them through their paces, and there always seems to be an outlier in rater. Out of 20 boots, there will always be a 5 or 7 or something like that. I won't continue this here, I'll make a proper post in CR4 support later.

i think tx have said they aint going to touch it, might be wrong. they have bigger fish to fry.
that being said someone like 15432 might be trying to work on a solution
They said the exact opposite in the post below

About the Trinity VS Jasper.



Jasper WINS hands down for reliability. Trinity WINS for convenience, integrated wifi, kinect ready and just looks nicer, that's really all its got on the Jasper.

I've no doubt they will be looking into it. But its not really priority. Xbox one is priority for me.

If I'm buying from eBay etc, I always make sure its a jasper, as u know it won't have been messed with regarding rrod botch up fixes.

blows my mind how much the idiots on ebay pay for xenons, f**kers must think they are made of gold or something



thanks for thinking of me though :)
An Xbox is an Xbox to most people. One is only worth more than the other if you know the difference. That's why people should do their homework before buying such a thing. Especially from FleeBay.

that is not true.
Anyone with knowledge about XBOX360s will tell you, Zephyrs and Xenons die much more often then trinitys or Jaspers.

it is true.if you worked on them as much as i do you would see it too.and i said slims,not jaspers.dont take the guys word for it thats reworked well over 20,000 of em,wtf do i know right? im sure anyone else thats been reworking em for as long as i have will say the same thing too. your certainly entitled to your own opinion however.

I've come across many consoles in my lifetime...perhaps not as many as nofel but truely believe that Xenons and Zephyrs have the highest failure rate...that Falcon's have a failure rate proportional to Slims and that Jasper's hands down are the most reliable. I also noticed that Slims have more power related issues than phats but less stuck/open tray/dvd reading problems.

Edit: Nofel is 100% correct though...slims do have a wider range of mysterious electrical failures that are difficult and it is sometimes impossible to pinpoint origin of issue..
