Hi everyone, just go 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 or every time or when I switch it from horizontal to vertical position or vice versa. I think it is plastic coz it sounds like plastic. 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. 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 think it was mentioned during the early purchasers of the 360, on how MS determined which position your machine is lying on, to coincide with the rings. Cant remember, that was like a year ago......and exactly a year a go, i had my own 3ROD....nasib baik HDD only. sweat.gif

does it affect any difference in terms of performance and life span of the xbox putting it on vertical or horizontal position?

I used to put mine vertical, but that was due to space constraint on the area where i wanna place the console. Now it's breathing fresher air on wider open space. Affect performance or lifespan?It works the same whether it was place vertical or horizontal, so i've no idea if they affect anything.
