Hi everyone, just got my XBOX360 today. Was kinda excited initially, but when I reach home and was trying to set it up, I can feel like there are some plastic thing moving in my Xbox360 when I carry it. give it a little shake, or every time when I switch it from the horizontal to vertical position or vice versa. I think it is plastic coz it sounds plasticky. The sounds come from some where near the hard disk, or below the hard disk area.

By the vibration that it is giving me and from its sound, I think it is something small.


I am really not sure whether this is normal or I have some loose compartment in my XBOX. This really worries me. I hope the you guys could help me figure it out.

Thanks inadvance.

p.s. Mine is an unmodded set.

It is not plastic , it is the ballbearing switch the console use to identify which position your 360 is, whether vertical or horizontal.

I see, thanks brother stringfellow for solving my ambiguities, since it is a ball bearing then every xbox360 will have the same thing moving in it and produces the same sound? So I wouldnt need to worry anything about it right?

and please, NEVER change the console from vertical to horizontal or vice versa while having a disc inside! it will scratch your disc!!!  smile.gif

yeawp..u can do a little test to see the effect of that ballbearing...of course u do this when u got no disc inside la...just flip it from horizontal to vertical(vise versa) and u get to see the green ROL move the first player light to follow ur 360s position biggrin.gif

So my Xbox360 is absolutely normal right?


I guess it is time for me to read more about the manual laugh.gif

I am placing mine vertically, with a stand fan blowing air directly infront of it (set fan speed to 1). laugh.gif coz I dont have much place left on my table. Hope the lifespan is the same between horizontal and vertical sweat.gif
