Last year, we told many a gamer how to find a Xbox 360 with the updated Falcon chipset to save them from the RRoD and many of you were grateful. As the world turns, so do the remedies to stop the RRoD once and for all. MS now brings us the Jasper chipset, which we all believe, is the RRoD Killer. Here is how you find it:
All you need to do is check the output on the power brick or on the back on the Xbox 360 where it lists the power specifications. If it says 150 W (Watts), it means that you have the Jasper chipset and are on your way. Whether you can check this out in store, I have no idea. They are on the shelves so if you can get them to open the box for you or return a new model and try to get a Jasper, go for it. This is a less expensive chipset and could account for the MS price drops in hopes of less consoles being sent back to the mothership.
Thanks to Neoseeker for the image.
Does this mean I have to bring my Elite back to bestbuy now

so jasper = bad ?
[...] of the xbox console. Microsoft has made some more moves in clearing up the Red Ring of Death. Loot-Ninja (yet again) comes through with how to spot if your new Xbox has the new Jasper [...]
My old 360 is still going strong, woo hoo.
no St8nasty:
You want a Jasper if you can. You want it to hold you at night and make you breakfast in the morning before it leaves.
Or you can check the back of the Xbox and look for:
12===12.1A <——that is a guaranteed Jasper.
