Yes, all repaired. I don't know whether it's coincidence or not, actually 1 kena 1rod and 2 is 3rod. I don't how long it gonna lasts but... I'll still get a jasper.

Will jasper set be moddable?

falcon users here, use for more than half year, 2nd hand set and no ROD at all... (2nd handset means longer than half year lo)

is to be said that August onwards manufactured are Jasper unit..

yes,Jasper are stil modable.

I got myself one for testing..so far runing ok,and it's obvious feel from the external that the heat seems to be reduce..

is 60gb xbox is a jasper?

my friend buy xbox 60gb,the seller said that 60gb is using new motherboard jasper but im not sure because jasper just out?

AFAIK , both of them are using RISC/PowerPC ports. So technically speaking , they are running on the same processor , its just that there are some differences in how things are handled in both platforms. That's processor wise that we are talking

Must be a Falcon. Check the manufacturing date.

see the post above. Check if the MFR date is August onwards. Btw, where your friend got it?

baca la first post!

not sure about the date but i remember the seller shows its 2008.
if im not mistaken my xbox also on 2008 but i thought mine was xenon.when i buy,i ask the seller but he looks blur,nvm i just buy .no 3rod sign yet

my friend buy at summit usj,maxdream shop ,i also buy at summit usj but at other shops,now the shop i buy sells higher price so my friend buy at the maxdream,a bit cheap

Looking at the MFG date isn't the most ideal option to spot a Jasper.

IMO the most ideal way (which I have posted in another thread) is by looking at the connector on the console side. However this does prove to be useless if you can't open the box without buying first. So the next method is to look for a 12.1A rating on the sticker at the back of the console through the box.

if jasper is out then the falcons are gonabe sold cheap mayb can consider a falcon

I thought the Jaspers that have been verified so far have manufacturing dates of October 08 onwards? I don't think it's August. My Falcon is 24/8/08.

it's not 100%, there's bound to be some overlap, especially since there's multiple mfg teams and they'll start building japsers in turns.

i bet price for jasper will be hike up by the distributors since the demand is so high...

I don't think they'll jack it up that high. Otherwise nobody would want it.

Unless your power brick is 150w then it is NOT a jasper. The first batch of 60GB are all Falcon. Please do not spread false info.

not nessasary...it can be 175w and still a jasper . false info everywhere nowadays

this is completely correct.
1) there are different manufacturing lines, like team FDOU and team CSON and so on. these lines are not going to all switch to jasper production at the same time on the same day. as per typical manufacturing processes, usually one line will be refurbished first, and that's where we're seeing the first jaspers from. it's a staggered transition, so manufacturing date should only be used as a very loose guideline, not a definite reference.

2) as it stands, the split pin connector design was done completely for jasper units, so the 150w bricks cannot be used for falcons or xenons or zephyrs due to the higher current draw of the older consoles.

3) similarly, a 12.1A rating on the rear of the console is exclusive to jaspers, as with their 65nm process, they require less current to power the system. 14.1A was the rating for falcons and older.



there have been confirmed 12.1A jasper consoles shipped with 175w bricks.

175w bricks will work with jasper, as well as falcons.
150w bricks will ONLY work with jasper.
that's why the 150w brick connector has the split pin design, it'll mate with a jasper female socket, but not a falcon one.

this is not false info, and has been derived from several sources that have provided photographic evidence

So you are saying that there are Jasper units in the first batch of the 60GB model then...? Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that there are SOME sellers claim that their 360s are all Jasper unit which cannot be confirmed at all unless they remove the heatsink to verify it. This is an irresponsible method of selling your console because there is no definite answer on how to verify your unit unless it comes with a 150w adapter which almost guarantee that it is a jasper unit.
